摘要:

我们报告了最近完成的SPIRIT(美国宇航局起源探测器候选任务)的预制定阶段研究结果。SPIRIT是一种空间和光谱干涉仪,工作波长范围为25 - 400微米。SPIRIT将在1弧分视场内提供分辨率R = 3000的亚弧秒分辨率图像和光谱,以实现三个主要科学目标:(1)了解行星系统如何从原恒星盘形成,以及它们如何获得其不均匀的组成;(二)通过对碎片盘中的结构进行成像,来描述太阳系外行星系统的特征,以了解不同行星如何以及在何处存在。类型形式;以及(3)了解高红移星系是如何形成和合并形成今天的星系群的。SPIRIT的观测将与詹姆斯·韦伯空间望远镜和地面阿塔卡马大型毫米波阵列的观测互为补充。这三个观测站可以同时运行。

英文摘要:

We report results of a recently-completed pre-Formulation Phase study of SPIRIT, a candidate NASA Origins Probe mission. SPIRIT is a spatial and spectral interferometer with an operating wavelength range 25 - 400 microns. SPIRIT will provide sub-arcsecond resolution images and spectra with resolution R = 3000 in a 1 arcmin field of view to accomplish three primary scientific objectives: (1) Learn how planetary systems form from protostellar disks, and how they acquire their inhomogeneous composition; (2) characterize the family of extrasolar planetary systems by imaging the structure in debris disks to understand how and where planets of different types form; and (3) learn how high-redshift galaxies formed and merged to form the present-day population of galaxies. Observations with SPIRIT will be complementary to those of the James Webb Space Telescope and the ground-based Atacama Large Millimeter Array. All three observatories could be operational contemporaneously.
