伊卡洛斯计划：与目标星选择有关的天文学考虑
Project Icarus: Astronomical Considerations Relating to the Choice of Target Star
摘要：
在本文中，我们概述了所需的考虑，以选择一个目标恒星系统的伊卡洛斯星际任务。据认为，伊卡洛斯飞船的最大可能距离为15光年，并提供了一个在这个距离范围内的所有已知恒星的列表。由于伊卡洛斯计划的科学目标是行星科学和天体生物学，因此在我们对太阳15光年范围内的行星系统有更清楚的了解之前，无法最终选择目标恒星，并且我们总结了本卷中目前已知的行星系统。我们强调，当像伊卡洛斯这样的星际飞行任务实际执行时，来自太阳系的天文观测将提供这一信息。最后，考虑到15光年内多恒星系统的比例很高（包括半人马座α系统中所有恒星中最接近太阳的恒星），我们强调，一个灵活的任务架构，能够访问多个系统中的恒星和伴随行星，是可取的。本文是伊卡洛斯项目研究小组的一份报告。
英文摘要：
In this paper we outline the considerations required in order to select a target star system for the Icarus interstellar mission. It is considered that the maximum likely range for the Icarus vehicle will be 15 light-years, and a list is provided of all known stars within this distance range. As the scientific objectives of Icarus are weighted towards planetary science and astrobiology, a final choice of target star(s) cannot be made until we have a clearer understanding of the prevalence of planetary systems within 15 light-years of the Sun, and we summarize what is currently known regarding planetary systems within this volume. We stress that by the time an interstellar mission such as Icarus is actually undertaken, astronomical observations from the solar system will have provided this information. Finally, given the high proportion of multiple star systems within 15 light-years (including the closest of all stars to the Sun in the α Centauri system), we stress that a flexible mission architecture, able to visit stars and accompanying planets within multiple systems, is desirable. This paper is a submission of the Project Icarus Study Group.
