I demonstrate that a very simple and safe change to the planning software filter assignment algorithm for the Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) onboard the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory can reduce the number of filter wheel rotations by >10%, and its adoption is thus likely to significantly extend the usable lifetime of the UVOT instrument.

旋转式长寿命优化滤镜（ROFL）：延长了Swift / UVOT的使用寿命

我证明，对尼尔·盖勒斯·斯威夫特天文台上的紫外线/光学望远镜（UVOT）的规划软件滤镜分配算法进行非常简单且安全的更改，可以使滤镜轮旋转次数减少> 10％，因此很可能采用大大延长了UVOT仪器的使用寿命。
