Over recent years, several independent groups have pursued the realization of a modern stellar intensity interferometry (SII) system to perform high angular resolution observations at optical wavelengths. Here, we present a general purpose SII observation planner (ASIIP) that can be used to aid in SII observational efforts. ASIIP can be used to coordinate and prioritize SII observations based on observational and instrumental parameters. ASIIP constructs a master catalog by gathering information from several stellar catalogs, and targets within the master catalog are ranked based on the ability to make stellar diameter estimates using a Monte Carlo analysis. The Monte Carlo analysis takes into account the estimated angular diameter, apparent brightness, a target’s uv-plane baseline coverage for a given observation, and instrumental sensitivity.

ASIIP：恒星强度干涉测量目标计划者

近年来，几个独立的小组一直致力于实现现代恒星强度干涉测量（SII）系统，以在光波长下执行高角分辨率观测。在这里，我们介绍了一个通用的SII观测计划器（ASIIP），可用于协助SII观测工作。ASIIP可用于根据观测和仪器参数来协调和确定SII观测的优先级。ASIIP通过收集来自多个恒星目录的信息来构建主目录，并基于使用蒙特卡洛分析进行恒星直径估算的能力对主目录中的目标进行排名。蒙特卡洛分析考虑了估计的角直径，视在亮度，给定观察值的目标uv平面基线覆盖范围以及仪器灵敏度。
