英文摘要 | One of the main scientific objectives of the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) is to perform accurate measurements of the energy spectra for different cosmic ray masses, from a few TeV to 100 PeV. As one of the main sub-arrays of LHAASO, the Wide Field-of-View Cherenkov Telescope Array (WFCTA), which consists of 18 telescopes, can help in achieving this goal. The pointing accuracy of each telescope is crucial for reconstructing energy and determining mass-sensitive parameters. In this study, a method for absolute pointing calibration using ultraviolet bright stars was established. The proposed method can achieve a pointing accuracy of approximately 0.02° by using more than five stars. When more stars are used in the telescope's field of view, the accuracy of the pointing calibration can be improved, e.g, a pointing accuracy of 0.01° can be achieved when using more than 15 stars. A high-precision inclinometer with a monitor resolution of 0.003° was installed on the camera to monitor the zenith direction of the telescope at every second. After calibration using bright stars, the absolute pointing accuracy of the inclinometer was 0.02°. |
