The University of Hawai'i 88-inch (2.24-meter) telescope—called UH88, UH2.2, or simply 88 by members of the local astronomical community—is situated at the Mauna Kea Observatories and operated by the University's Institute for Astronomy. It was constructed in 1968, and entered service in 1970, at which point it was known as "The Mauna Kea Observatory". It became one of the first professional telescopes to be controlled by a computer. The telescope was built with funding from NASA, to support Solar System missions, and is controlled by the University of Hawai'i. The success of the telescope helped demonstrate the value of Mauna Kea for astronomical observations.

  • Le télescope de 88 pouces (2,2 mètres) de l'Université d'Hawaï (en anglais The University of Hawaii 88-inch (2.2-meter) telescope), appelé en abrégé UH88 ou UH2.2, ou simplement 88 par les membres de la communauté astronomique locale, est un télescope de 88 pouces (2,2 mètres) de diamètre opéré par l'Institute for Astronomy (IfA) de l'Université d'Hawaï. Ce télescope fut construit en et entra en service en . Il devint le premier télescope professionnel . Le télescope fut construit à partir de fonds de la NASA afin de soutenir les missions dans le Système solaire et est contrôlé par l'Université de Hawaï. Le succès du télescope aida à démontrer l'intérêt de la montagne pour les observations astronomiques. * Portail de l’astronomie * Portail de l’architecture et de l’urbanisme * Portail d’Hawaï (fr)
  • The University of Hawai'i 88-inch (2.24-meter) telescope—called UH88, UH2.2, or simply 88 by members of the local astronomical community—is situated at the Mauna Kea Observatories and operated by the University's Institute for Astronomy. It was constructed in 1968, and entered service in 1970, at which point it was known as "The Mauna Kea Observatory". It became one of the first professional telescopes to be controlled by a computer. The telescope was built with funding from NASA, to support Solar System missions, and is controlled by the University of Hawai'i. The success of the telescope helped demonstrate the value of Mauna Kea for astronomical observations. On December 4, 1984 it became the first telescope to make optical closure phase measurements on an astronomical source using an aperture mask. UH88 is a Cassegrain reflector tube telescope with an f/10 focal ratio, supported by a large open fork equatorial mount. It was the last telescope on Mauna Kea to use a tube design rather than an open truss, and is the largest in the complex to use an open fork mount, with neighboring telescopes in the 3-meter class using English mount designs. As the only research telescope controlled solely by the University, UH88 has long been the primary telescope used by its professors, postdoctoral scholars, and graduate students, and, as a result, the site of numerous discoveries. David C. Jewitt and Jane X. Luu discovered the first Kuiper belt object, 15760 Albion, using UH88, and a team led by Jewitt and Scott S. Sheppard discovered 45 of the known moons of Jupiter, as well as moons of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The Institute for Astronomy also makes agreements with other organizations for portions of available observing time. Currently, the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan uses UH88 for some research projects for which its far larger and more expensive Subaru Observatory, also on Mauna Kea, would be overkill. The Nearby Supernova Factory project, based at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, also has its Supernova Integrated Field Spectrograph (SNIFS) instrument mounted on UH88. In June 2011, the telescope and its weather station were struck by lightning, damaging many systems and disabling it, but the telescope was repaired by August 2011. Some of the systems at the observatory were 41 years old at the time of the damage and had to be reverse engineered to be fixed. The weather station is currently under development. * Telescope building * A view inside the dome, showing the telescope and its equatorial mount * Hardware mounted on the bottom of the telescope tube * Hardware mounted on the side of the telescope tube * Control room * Control box, which appears to be for manually aiming the telescope * Commemorative plaque for the telescope (en)

  • O telescópio de 88 polegadas (2,2 metros) da Universidade do Havaí chamado de UH88, UH2.2, ou simplesmente de 88 pelos membros da comunidade astronômica local está situado no Observatório de Mauna Kea e é operado pelo Instituto de Astronomia desta Universidade. Foi construído em 1968, e entrou em serviço em 1970, altura em que era conhecido como "O Observatório de Mauna Kea". Tornou-se um dos primeiros telescópio profissional a ser controlado por um computador. O telescópio foi construído com financiamento da NASA, para apoiar sistema solar missões e é controlado pela Universidade do Havai. O êxito da telescópio ajudou a demonstrar o valor de Mauna Kea para observações astronômicas. Como o único telescópio de pesquisa controlado unicamente pela Universidade, o UH88 tem sido o principal telescópio usado pelos seus professores, acadêmicos de pós-doutorado e pós-graduação, e, como resultado, é o local de numerosas descobertas. David C. Jewitt e Jane X. Luu descobriram o primeiro objeto do cinturão de Kuiper, o 15760 Albion, usando o UH88, e uma equipe liderada por Jewitt e Scott S. Sheppard descobriu 45 dos conhecidos satélites de Júpiter, bem como satélites de Saturno, Urano e Netuno. O Instituto de Astronomia também faz acordos com outras organizações para disponibilizar períodos de tempo de observação. Atualmente, o Observatório Astronômico Nacional do Japão usa o UH88 para alguns projetos de pesquisa para o qual o seu muito maior e mais caro Observatório Subaru, também em Mauna Kea, seria um exagero. O projeto Nearby Supernova Factory, baseado no Laboratório Nacional de Lawrence Berkeley, também o Supernova Integrated Field Spectrograph (SNIFS) tem instrumento montado no UH88. Em junho de 2011, o telescópio e a sua estação meteorológica foram atingido por um raio, danificando muitos sistemas e desativando-o, mas o telescópio foi reparado em agosto de 2011. Alguns dos sistemas do observatório tinham 41 anos de idade no momento do dano e teve de ser realizada engenharia reversa para ser reparado. A estação meteorológica está atualmente em desenvolvimento. (pt)

Находится на вершине вулкана Мауна-Кеа на высоте 4 200 метров над уровнем морем в США, на острове Гавайи в составе обсерватории Мауна-Кеа. Самый первый объект пояса Койпера был найден в 1990 году именно этим телескопом. (ru)
