Maidanak
Laboratory is a part of Sternberg Astronomical Institute of Moscow State
University. It was founded in 1974. Now the main scientific research activity
of the Lab staff is focused on gravitational lensing, surface photometry
of spiral galaxies, galaxy clusters. Observations are conducted with 1.5
meter RC telescope AZT-22 of Maidanak Observatory (Uzbekistan).

Pictures from Shatzhatmaz plateau Maidanak Observatory and Instruments In 1972, Sternberg Astronomical Institute of Moscow State University
(SAI MSU) initiated a search of sites with the best astroclimate in
Central Asia. Mountain Maidanak (150 km to south from Samarkand, Uzbekistan)
was chosen after the continuous investigation of meteorological conditions,
temperature fluctuations and seeing quality in different testing sites.
At the end of 1972, SAI MSU have finished mainly the construction of
Maidanak Observatory. The main instrument of Maidanak Observatory is
1.5 meter RC telescope (AZT-22) manufactured by optical firm LOMO (Russia,
S-Peterburg). Optical shop test confirmed the high quality of the optical
system AZT-22 limited diffraction optics. The 1.5-meter telescope was
installed in the dome equipped with ventilator system for the smoothing
of the inside dome turbulence. The isolated summit Mt.Maidanak (2600
meter) have good astroclimatical parameters: 2000 clean observational
hours per year and mean seeing (FWHW) is about 0.7 arcsec (Artamonov
et al. 1987, Ehgamberdiev et al. 2000). After the USSR disintegration
Maidanak Observatory property was assigned to Ulugh-Beck Astronomical
Institute (Tashkent, Uzbekistan).
Collaboration Lab works in collaboration with Ill-posed Inverse Problems Group of Physics Faculty of Moscow University (Russia), Kharkiv National University(Ukraine), Institute of Radio Astronomy(Ukraine), Ulug-Bek Astronomical Institute(Uzbekistan). |
