ELT-MOSAIC的模拟调查:A阶段后MOSAIC科学案例的状况
Simulating Surveys for ELT-MOSAIC: Status of the MOSAIC Science Case after Phase A
摘要:
我们提出了欧洲ELT上的MOSAIC概念的多目标光谱学的综合科学案例。这些案例涵盖了ELT科学的全部范围,需要“高复用”或“高清晰度”观测,以最好地利用望远镜的出色灵敏度和宽视场。在最近MOSAIC概念的A阶段研究中,科学团队进行了科学优先级排序,我们强调了为该仪器设计的四项关键调查,并对其科学性能进行了详细的模拟。我们讨论了未来如何优化B期MOSAIC的概念设计,并通过与2020年代可用的其他设施进行比较,说明其竞争力和独特的能力。
英文摘要:
We present the consolidated scientific case for multi-object spectroscopy with the MOSAIC concept on the European ELT. The cases span the full range of ELT science and require either 'high multiplex' or 'high definition' observations to best exploit the excellent sensitivity and wide field-of-view of the telescope. Following scientific prioritisation by the Science Team during the recent Phase A study of the MOSAIC concept, we highlight four key surveys designed for the instrument using detailed simulations of its scientific performance. We discuss future ways to optimise the conceptual design of MOSAIC in Phase B, and illustrate its competitiveness and unique capabilities by comparison with other facilities that will be available in the 2020s.
