arXiv:2207.14318 [pdf, other]The inside-out, upside-down telescope: the Argus Array's new pseudofocal designNicholas Law, Alan Vasquez Soto, Hank Corbett, Nathan Galliher, Ramses Gonzalez, Lawrence Machia, Glenn WaltersComments: 9 pages, 4 figures, 1 table. Presented at SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation 2022Subjects: Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics (astro-ph.IM)The Argus Optical Array will be the first all-sky, arcsecond-resolution, 5-m class telescope. The 55 GPix Array, currently being prototyped, will consist of 900 telescopes with 61 MPix very-low-noise CMOS detectors enabling sub-second cadences. Argus will observe every part of the northern sky for 6-12 hours per night, achieving a simultaneously high-cadence and deep-sky survey. The array will build a two-color, million-epoch movie, reaching dark-sky depths of mg=19.6 each minute and mg=23.6 each week over 47% of the entire sky, enabling the most-sensitive-yet searches for high-speed transients, gravitational-wave counterparts, exoplanet microlensing events, and a host of other phenomena. In this paper we present our newly-developed array arrangement, which mounts all telescopes into the inside of a hemispherical bowl (turning the original dome design inside-out). The telescopes' beams thus converge at a single ``pseudofocal'' point. When placed along the telescope's polar axis, this point does not move as the telescope tracks, allowing every telescope to simultaneously look through a single, unmoving window in a fixed enclosure. This telescope bowl is suspended from a simple free-swinging pivot (turning the usual telescope mounting support upside-down), with polar alignment afforded by the creation of a virtual polar axis defined by a second mounting pivot. This new design, currently being prototyped with the 38-telescope Argus Pathfinder, eliminates the need for a movable external dome and thus greatly reduces the cost and complexity of the full Argus Array. Coupled with careful software scope control and the use of existing software pipelines, the Argus Array could thus become one of the deepest and fastest sky surveys, within a midscale-level budget.
