The near infrared high resolution imaging camera program of Beijing Observatory

This paper introduces the program of an adaptive optics system using an infrared camera for the near infrared observations based on the 2.16 m telescope of Beijing Observatory. This system consists of 3 parts: (1), the 2.16 m telescope; (2), the adaptive optics system that will be mounted at the coudé focus on an optical table. It will be used to remove the effect of atmospheric turbulence on the imaging observations; (3), the infrared camera with a 512×512 PtSi IR detector array.
