The First Infrared Telescope in Tibet Plateau, China
Abstract
We plan to install an infrared telescope at the new site of Tibet, China. The primary mirror diameter is 50cm, and the focal ratio F8. The Xenics 640×512 near infrared camera is employed, equipped with a dedicated high speed InGaAs detector array, working up to 1.7μm. The new site is located on 5100m mountain, near Gar town, Ali, where is an excellent site for both infrared and submillimeter observations. The telescope will be remotely controlled through internet. The goal of IRT is to make site testing, detect variable stars, and search for extrasolar planets.
