摘要:

实验室天体物理学和补充理论计算是天文学和天体物理学的基础,在可预见的未来仍将如此。实验室天体物理学的影响范围从地面,空中和太空观测站的科学概念阶段,一直到这些项目和任务的科学回报。正是我们对潜在物理过程和关键物理参数测量的理解,使我们能够解决天文学和天体物理学中的基本问题。在这方面,实验室天体物理学很像NASA、NSF和DOE的探测器和仪器开发。这些努力对于这些机构资助的天文学研究的成功是必要的。如果不在所有三个方向(观测设施、探测器/仪器开发和实验室天体物理学)同时努力,天文学和天体物理学的未来进展将受到威胁。此外,实验技术的新发展使实验室研究发挥了新的作用,因为以前只能在理论上研究的一些问题现在可以直接在实验室中解决。考虑到这一点,我们,AAS实验室天体物理学工作组的成员,编写了这份关于实验室天体物理学基础设施的专业立场文件,以确保未来十年天文学和天体物理学的进步。

英文摘要:

Laboratory astrophysics and complementary theoretical calculations are the foundations of astronomy and astrophysics and will remain so into the foreseeable future. The impact of laboratory astrophysics ranges from the scientific conception stage for ground-based, airborne, and space-based observatories, all the way through to the scientific return of these projects and missions. It is our understanding of the under-lying physical processes and the measurements of critical physical parameters that allows us to address fundamental questions in astronomy and astrophysics. In this regard, laboratory astrophysics is much like detector and instrument development at NASA, NSF, and DOE. These efforts are necessary for the success of astronomical research being funded by the agencies. Without concomitant efforts in all three directions (observational facilities, detector/instrument development, and laboratory astrophysics) the future progress of astronomy and astrophysics is imperiled. In addition, new developments in experimental technologies have allowed laboratory studies to take on a new role as some questions which previously could only be studied theoretically can now be addressed directly in the lab. With this in mind we, the members of the AAS Working Group on Laboratory Astrophysics, have prepared this State of the Profession Position Paper on the laboratory astrophysics infrastructure needed to ensure the advancement of astronomy and astrophysics in the next decade.
