摘要
大天区面积多目标光纤光谱天文望远镜(LAMOST)是由中国科学技术大学与国家天文台、南京天文光学技术研究所共同承担的国家重大科学工程项目.LAMOST在口径、视场和光纤数目三者结合上超过了目前国际上所有的多目标光谱巡天计划的装置.本文介绍了它将在河外星系、银河系结构与演化及多目标认证三方面的科学巡天计划.LAMOST的建成将对宇宙学、星系形成及演化、恒星物理等天文学中广泛的科学课题的研究做出重要的贡献.
The large sky area multi-object fiber spectroscopic telescope （LAMOST） is one of the major national scientific projects undertaken by the University of Science and Technology of China, together with the National Astronomical Observatory and Nanjing Institute of Astronomical Optical Technology. The 4 m large aperture, 5 degree field of view and 4 000 fibers make LAMOST the most powerful optical spectrum survey telescope in the world. The scientific goal of LAMOST focuses on extragalactic astronomy, structure and evolution of The Galaxy and mutti-waveband identification. The spectroscopic survey carried out by LAMOST will make substantial contributions to the wide research fields in morden astronomy.
