AOT_TELESCOPES fields.

Name Type Unit Description
UID str n.a. Unique ID that identifies the telescope.(a,b)
TYPE str n.a. Indicates the type of telescope (either ‘Main Telescope’ or ‘Laser Launch Telescope’).(a)
LATITUDE flt deg Latitude of the telescope (World Geodetic System).
LONGITUDE flt deg Longitude of the telescope (World Geodetic System).
ELEVATION flt deg Elevation of the telescope at the start, the angle between the object and the observer’s local horizon with 0° being the horizon and 90° being zenith (horizontal coordinate system).
AZIMUTH flt deg Azimuth of the telescope at the start, the angle of the object around the horizon with 0° being north, increasing eastward (horizontal coordinate system).
PARALLACTIC flt deg Parallactic angle at the start, the spherical angle between the hour circle and the great circle through a celestial object and the zenith.
PUPIL_MASK str n.a. Image-reference.
PUPIL_ANGLE flt rad Clockwise rotation of the pupil mask.
ENCLOSING_D flt m Diameter of the smallest circle that contains the entirety of the pupil (enclosing circle).
INSCRIBED_D flt m Diameter of the largest circle that can be contained in the pupil (inscribed circle). On monolithic circular pupils this is equivalent to ENCLOSING_D.
OBSTRUCTION_D flt m Diameter of the smallest circle that contains the entire central obstruction.
SEGMENTS_TYPE str n.a. Describes the type of the segments that constitute the pupil. Value must be ‘Monolithic’ if the pupil is monolithic, ‘Hexagon’ if the segments are hexagons or ‘Circle’ if the segments are circles.(a)
SEGMENTS_SIZE flt m Size of the segments that constitute the pupil, measured as the diameter of the smallest circle that contains the entirety of a segment. If no segments exist (monolithic) this must be null.
SEGMENTS_X lst m List of horizontal coordinates of each segment in the pupil.(c)
SEGMENTS_Y lst m List of vertical coordinates of each segment in the pupil.(c)
TRANSFORMATION_MATRIX str n.a. Image-reference.
ABERRATION_UID str n.a. AOT_ABERRATIONS row-reference.

Notes. (a)Strictly mandatory (value must not be null). (b)All entries in this field must be unique. (c)List must have the same length as the total number of segments (or be empty if the pupil is monolithic). The origin of the coordinates is the centre of the inscribed circle.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.

Initial download of the metrics may take a while.
