摘要:

2010年12月,美国宇航局为WFIRST(宽视场红-红巡天望远镜)创建了一个科学定义小组(SDT),该望远镜被Astro 2010年十年巡天计划推荐为大型空间任务的最高优先事项。SDT被特许与GSFC的WFIRST项目办公室和JPL的计划办公室合作,为WFIRST制作设计参考任务(DRM)。最初的部分任务是在2011年年中之前完成一个临时设计参考任务。这份文件被提交给了NASA,并在天文学界广为流传。2011年末,天体物理学分部增加了最初的任务,要求进行两次设计参考任务。其中第一个是DRM 1,是临时DRM的最终版本,在可能的情况下降低总体任务成本。其中第二个是DRM 2,旨在识别和消除与NASA的詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜(以下简称JWST),ESA的欧几里得任务和NSF的地基大型综合巡天望远镜(以下简称LSST)重叠的能力,并再次降低总体任务成本,同时保持对NWNH的忠诚。本报告提供DRM 1和DRM 2。

英文摘要:

In December 2010, NASA created a Science Definition Team (SDT) for WFIRST, the Wide Field Infra-Red Survey Telescope, recommended by the Astro 2010 Decadal Survey as the highest priority for a large space mission. The SDT was chartered to work with the WFIRST Project Office at GSFC and the Program Office at JPL to produce a Design Reference Mission (DRM) for WFIRST. Part of the original charge was to produce an interim design reference mission by mid-2011. That document was delivered to NASA and widely circulated within the astronomical community. In late 2011 the Astrophysics Division augmented its original charge, asking for two design reference missions. The first of these, DRM1, was to be a finalized version of the interim DRM, reducing overall mission costs where possible. The second of these, DRM2, was to identify and eliminate capabilities that overlapped with those of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (henceforth JWST), ESA's Euclid mission, and the NSF's ground-based Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (henceforth LSST), and again to reduce overall mission cost, while staying faithful to NWNH. This report presents both DRM1 and DRM2.
