Progress of the Antarctic large field of view telescope
Astronomical observatory sites,in the extreme Antarctic environment,not only exhibit exceptional condi-tions for astronomical observations,but also present a notably high frequency of space debris transit.These char-acteristics provide high versatility for large field-of-view telescopes with diverse potential applications,such as astronomical observations,space debris management,and deep space exploration.To achieve scientific objec-tives while considering data requirements,China has deployed several large field of view telescopes with various optical systems in Antarctica.This review discusses key aspects of Antarctic large field of view observations.First,the Chinese Antarctic astronomical sites are described and the motivation for constructing multiple large field of view telescopes in Antarctica is given.Second,the types of optical systems currently used for Chinese Antarctic telescopes are detailed.Third,the expected scientific advances are listed.This review aims to demon-strate the usefulness of large field of view telescopes in the unique context of Antarctica.
