Real-time atmospheric extinction variation analysis with the Photometric Telescope at Xinglong Observatory
View through CrossRef
AbstractWe present the Photometric Auxiliary System (PAS) attached to the 25-cm Photometric Telescope (PT) at Xinglong Observatory of National Astronomical Observatories, Chinese Academy of Sciences (NAOC). This PAS can provide real-time atmospheric extinction for other telescopes at the same station for flux calibration via observing standard stars, e.g. the 2.16-m reflector and 1-m telescope. Moreover, the real-time atmospheric extinction could act as a useful reference for other local telescopes regarding the adjustment of observing strategies, such as changing the exposure time, which is important for the observers. This PAS has been operated since February 2012, and we have obtained the $r$r-band atmospheric extinction of Xinglong Observatory from February 2012 to March 2018. With these data, we have analyzed the atmospheric extinction of Xinglong Observatory in detail.
