... In 1930, an observatory was built at Pic du Midi (2,860m above sea level) in the Pyrenees on the Spanish border, with a coronagraph designed by BF Lyot. In the 1940s, a 60cm refractor (used for observing the moon and planets) was added, followed by a 107cm in the 1960s and a 2m reflector in the 1980s. Meanwhile, since 1950, the Haute Provence Observatory has been built in the village of Saint-Michel in the Provence region of southern France, and is equipped with 193cm, 152cm, 120cm and other reflecting telescopes, as well as a 60cm Schmidt telescope, and has become a center of astrophysics research in France along with Pic du Midi. Furthermore, France is building the Institute of Millimeter Wave Radio Astronomy (IRAM) in Pico Veleta, Spain, in collaboration with Germany and Spain. ... *Some of the terminology that refers to the "Haute-Provence Observatory" is listed below.

… その後1930年,スペイン国境のピレネー山脈中のピク・デュ・ミディ(標高2860m)に,B.F.リヨが設計したコロナグラフを置く天文台が作られ,40年代には60cm屈折鏡(月や惑星の観測に活躍),次いで60年代には107cm,80年代には2mの反射鏡も増設された。一方,1950年以来,南フランスのプロバンス地方のサン・ミシェル村に,オート・プロバンス天文台が建設され,193cm,152cm,120cmほかの反射望遠鏡,60cmシュミット望遠鏡などを備え,ピク・デュ・ミディとともにフランスの天体物理学研究の拠点になっている。さらにフランスはドイツ,スペインと共同で,スペインのピコベレタにミリ波電波天文学研究所(IRAM)を建設中である。… ※「オート・プロバンス天文台」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
