LEAVITT：一个MIDEX级的任务，寻找和表征太阳附近的10，000颗凌日行星
LEAVITT: A MIDEX-class Mission for Finding & Characterizing 10,000 Transiting Planets in the Solar Neighborhood
摘要：
我们提出了一个MIDEX级的太空任务，目标是找到和描述大约10，000颗凌日行星。当凌日发生时，可以对行星进行更详细的描述，因此凌日行星的大型数据库将为后续研究提供大范围的周期和半径。我们的调查将是全天空的，重点是比V=14.8更亮的恒星。到V=12时，LEAVITT将能够探测到海王星大小的物体。由于它的高节奏，LEAVITT在检测凌日方面比GAIA灵敏100倍，而它将发现比KEPLER多20倍的凌日。LEAVITT具有通过低分辨率色散元件实现的多波段光度测量能力，该元件可以获得0.2%（2 mmag）的光度测量，直到V=14.8。LEAVITT的高多波段光度精度显著减少了误报的数量。
英文摘要：
We propose a MIDEX-class space mission with the goal to find and characterize roughly 10,000 transiting planets. When transits occur, a much more detailed characterization of the planet is possible and so a large data base of transiting planets will provide planets with a large range in periods and radii for follow-up studies. Our survey will be all-sky and focused on stars brighter than V=14.8. Down to V=12, LEAVITT will be able to detect Neptune-sized objects. Because of it's high cadence, LEAVITT is about 100 times more sensitive at detecting transits than GAIA, while it will find more than 20 times as many transits as KEPLER. LEAVITT has multi-band photometric capability implemented via a low-resolution dispersive element which can obtain 0.2% (2 mmag) photometry down to V=14.8. LEAVITT's high multi-band photometric accuracy reduces the number of false-positives significantly.
