利用NRO研制哈勃宽视场近红外Space Telescope -- NEW WFIRST
Exploring the NRO Opportunity for a Hubble-sized Wide-field Near-IR Space Telescope -- NEW WFIRST
摘要:
我们讨论的科学,技术和方案的问题,使用NRO 2.4米望远镜的WFIRST倡议的2010年十年期调查。我们表明,WFIRST的这种实现,我们称之为“新WFIRST”,将实现NWNH十年巡天的目标,用于WFIRST核心计划的暗能量和微透镜行星发现,具有更深和/或更宽的近红外巡天的关键优势,用于GO科学和潜在的哈勃式客座观察员计划。新的WFIRST还可能包括一个日冕成像仪,用于直接检测邻近恒星周围的尘埃盘和行星,这是未来雄心勃勃的计划的高优先级科学和技术先驱,为邻近恒星周围的类地行星成像。
英文摘要:
We discuss scientific, technical and programmatic issues related to the use of an NRO 2.4m telescope for the WFIRST initiative of the 2010 Decadal Survey. We show that this implementation of WFIRST, which we call "NEW WFIRST," would achieve the goals of the NWNH Decadal Survey for the WFIRST core programs of Dark Energy and Microlensing Planet Finding, with the crucial benefit of deeper and/or wider near-IR surveys for GO science and a potentially Hubble-like Guest Observer program. NEW WFIRST could also include a coronagraphic imager for direct detection of dust disks and planets around neighboring stars, a high-priority science and technology precursor for future ambitious programs to image Earth-like planets around neighboring stars.
