摘　　要：两台自动跟踪大气切伦科夫望远镜已经在北京天文台兴隆观测站投入运行，它们用于寻找甚高能γ射线点源和研究点源的发射特性以及探测甚高能γ射线强度的空间分布。本文介绍望远镜的结构和牲能以及在观测条件下的测试结果。Two tracking atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes have been operated at Xing LongStation,Beijing Astronomical Observatory,on the basis of atmospheric Cherenkovradiation produced by extensive air shower.They are used to search for point sourcesof very high energy gamma ray and to study their emission characteristics as well asto detect the spatial distribution of very high energy gamma ray intensity.Theconstruction and the performance of the telescopes as well as the testing results underobservation conditions are presented in this paper.
