Discovering and Characterizing the Planetary Systems of Nearby Stars: The scientific need for medium aperture space coronagraph observations
摘要:
通过可在今后十年内开始的中等孔径高性能日冕空间飞行任务,可在发现和确定邻近恒星的行星系统特性方面取得重大进展。它的观测将在研究从宜居带的类地行星到巨型行星和星周碎片盘方面取得重大进展,还将为设计能力更强的未来飞行任务提供信息。令人兴奋的是,这种基础的系外行星科学可以用相对适度的能力来完成。
英文摘要:
Significant advances in the discovery and characterization of the planetary systems of nearby stars can be accomplished with a moderate aperture high performance coronagraphic space mission that could be started in the next decade. Its observations would make significant progress in studying terrestrial planets in their habitable zones to giant planets and circumstellar debris disks, also informing the design of a more capable future mission. It is quite exciting that such fundamental exoplanet science can be done with relatively modest capabilities.
