The productivity of Lick Observatory (LO) is reviewed over the years from 1965 to 2019, a 55 yr period which commences with the Shane 3 m telescope being the second-largest astronomical reflector in the world, but transitions into the era of 10 m ground-based optical telescopes. The metric of productivity used here is the annual number of refereed papers within which are presented results that are based at least in part on observations made with the telescopes of LO on Mount Hamilton. Criteria are set forth that have guided the counting of this metric. A bibliography of papers pertinent to observations from Lick Observatory has been compiled, and is made available through a NASA ADS library. The overall productivity of the observatory, counting all telescopes, went through a broad maximum between the years 1975 and 1982. This period also corresponds to a maximum in productivity of the Shane 3 m telescope. An author network shows that this period is attended by the introduction of digital detector systems at LO, particularly at the Shane telescope. Following 1983 the overall productivity of LO shows a net long-term decrease but with two other lesser peaks superimposed on that decrease. A slightly smaller peak occurs around 1996 and is associated with programs taking advantage of CCD spectrometers at both cassegrain and coudé foci of the Shane telescope. A third lesser peak around 2012 can be attributed to a rise in extragalactic supernova studies originating out of UC Berkeley. Author networks serve to document the UC astronomical communities that were using LO telescopes at these peak times. Institutional affiliations of first authors are documented.

1965 年至 2019 年期间在利克天文台使用望远镜的研究成果

从 1965 年到 2019 年，回顾了 Lick 天文台 (LO) 的生产力，这是一个 55 年的时期，从 Shane 3 m 望远镜是世界上第二大天文反射器开始，但过渡到 10 m 地面的时代基于光学望远镜。这里使用的生产力衡量标准是每年审阅论文的数量，其中所呈现的结果至少部分基于汉密尔顿山 LO 望远镜的观测结果。规定了指导该指标计数的标准。与 Lick 天文台观测相关的论文参考书目已经汇编完毕，并通过 NASA ADS 图书馆提供。天文台的整体生产力，包括所有望远镜在内，在 1975 年至 1982 年间经历了广泛的最大值。这一时期也对应于 Shane 3 m 望远镜的最高生产力。一个作者网络显示，这一时期伴随着 LO 数字探测器系统的引入，特别是在 Shane 望远镜中。1983 年之后，LO 的整体生产力显示出长期的净下降，但在该下降上叠加了另外两个较小的峰值。一个稍小的峰值出现在 1996 年左右，这与利用 CCD 光谱仪在 Shane 望远镜的 cassegrain 和 coudé 焦点上的程序有关。2012 年左右的第三个较小的峰值可归因于源自加州大学伯克利分校的河外超新星研究的增加。作者网络用于记录在这些高峰时期使用 LO 望远镜的 UC 天文社区。记录了第一作者的机构隶属关系。
