SIM-Lite亚微弧秒天体测量:基于试验台的性能评估

Sub-Microarcsecond Astrometry with SIM-Lite: A Testbed-based Performance Assessment

M. Shao, B. Nemati

摘要:

SIM-Lite是为亚微弧秒天体测量而设计的天体测量干涉仪,具有广泛的应用,从寻找地球类似物到确定暗物质的分布。SIM-Lite测量可能受到随机和系统误差以及天体物理噪声的限制。在本文中,我们专注于仪器系统误差和报告结果从SIM-Lite的干涉仪测试台。我们发现,对于用于行星发现的窄角天体测量,SIM-Lite的任务结束时的本底噪声低于0.035 uas。

英文摘要:

SIM-Lite is an astrometric interferometer being designed for sub-microarcsecond astrometry, with a wide range of applications from searches for Earth-analogs to determining the distribution of dark matter. SIM-Lite measurements can be limited by random and systematic errors, as well as astrophysical noise. In this paper we focus on instrument systematic errors and report results from SIM-Lite's interferometer testbed. We find that, for narrow-angle astrometry such as used for planet finding, the end-of-mission noise floor for SIM-Lite is below 0.035 uas.
