Abstract

We present a theoretical model of atmospheric transparencies for tropical region of Indonesia in the framework of developing multi-wavelength astronomical observations. The wavelengths of interest are radio, infrared, and optical domains. Beside science objectives, sky transparencies are needed to determine the corresponding wavelength band to be optimized in the observatory design. A clear sky condition is then assumed in the model and a line-by-line radiative transfer code is used at high spectral resolution.  The results, combined with study on meteorological satellite data, are utilized to provide various information to select the best possible sites for a new astronomical observatory in Indonesia.

Abstract

We present initial studies to search for the best possible sites for an astronomical observatory in Indonesia. Since the country occupies a vast geographical area, in so doing, we analyzed a number of basic atmospheric parameters based on GMS-NOAA meteorological satellite data at a low spatial resolution to identify some interesting feasible locations. The selected parameters are outgoing long wave radiation, temperature, precipitation, relative humidity, precipitable water, and wind profile, mostly available for a period of several decades. The data are averaged over 30 years to obtain a monthly average profile of Indonesian meteorological situation. The results suggest that regions of Nusa Tenggara Timur could offer promising sites and is merit to be explored further.

Abstract

Global meteorological study over Indonesia has identified that Nusa Tenggara Timur is a good candidate for an astronomical site. West Timor, in the eastern region of Nusa Tenggara Timur, is subsequently selected to be surveyed both for topographical and sky quality. The latter is studied theoretically in term of transmittance of tropical atmosphere. This work presents in situ measurement undertaken for Kupang (longitude: 123° 34¢ 4² E, latitude: 10° 10¢ 19² S) to derive the seeing values. The same procedure was also performed for Lembang, West Java (longitude: 107° 36¢ 58² E, latitude: 6° 49¢ 33² S) in order to quantitatively compare the proposing site to the established one. Our result shows that Kupang has about 50% better seeing condition than that of Lembang.
