论文摘要
我们提出了一项协调一致的观察活动，以监视James Webb太空望远镜（JWST）的亮度，因为它可以朝着第二个地球传播点传播，并使用网络使用Nunistellar数字望远镜进行展开。全世界公民天文学家收集的观察结果使我们能够检测到特定的阶段，例如与助推器分离，由于动作后的方向改变，阳光射线的突出以及主要镜子的部署而引起的眩光。在2022年1月6日部署阳光后，6-H灯弯有显着的振幅，并且由于委托期间空间望远镜的人为旋转而显示出很小的变化。这些变化可能是由于主镜的部署或空间望远镜方向的某些变化。这项工作说明了由公民天文学家运营的各种全球小型望远镜的力量，以长期进行大型科学运动。将来，我们的网络和其他人将继续监视JWST，通过比较灯光的演变来检测到空间环境的潜在降解。
We present a coordinated campaign of observations to monitor the brightness of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) as it travels toward the second Earth-Sun Lagrange point and unfolds using the network ofUnistellar digital telescopes. Those observations collected by citizen astronomers across the world allowed us to detect specific phases such as the separation from the booster, glare due to a change of orientation after a maneuver, the unfurling of the sunshield, and deployment of the primary mirror. After deployment of the sunshield on January 6 2022, the 6-h lightcurve has a significant amplitude and shows small variations due to the artificial rotation of the space telescope during commissionning. These variations could be due to the deployment of the primary mirror or some changes in orientation of the space telescope. This work illustrates the power of a worldwide array of small telescopes, operated by citizen astronomers, to conduct large scientific campaigns over a long timeframe. In the future, our network and others will continue to monitor JWST to detect potential degradations to the space environment by comparing the evolution of the lightcurve.
