摘 要:The 1.6 meter clear aperture, off-axis New Solar Telescope (NST) is the first facility class solar telescope built in the U.S. for a generation and is largest aperture, highest resolution solar telescope in the world. NST will dominate U.S. ground-based solar observations until the end of this decade when the 4 m DKIST comes online. Since its commissioning in 2009, the NST has regularly provided high resolution data covering the spectral range from 0.4 to 5.0 m to photometrically and polarimetrically probe the solar atmosphere from the deepest photosphere to the base of the corona, from the smallest scales to largest scales, and from the quietest to most active Sun. This presentation reviews the process of design, construction and commissioning of the NST, and reports the up-to-date progress on its next generation instruments including the AO systems (AO-308 & MCAO), the Broad-band Filter Imager (BFI), the Near-InfraRed Imaging Spectro-polarimeter (NIRIS), the Visible Imaging Spectrometer (VIS), and the Cryogenic Infrared Spectrograph (CYRA).
