ERIS:为VLT振兴自适应光学仪器
ERIS: revitalising an adaptive optics instrument for the VLT
摘要:
ERIS是一种扩展和增强VLT基本衍射极限成像和光谱能力的仪器。它将取代两个仪器,现在正在维护超过其使用寿命,将其功能结合在一个单一的焦点,提供一个新的波前传感模块,利用设施自适应光学系统,并大大提高其性能。该仪器将在几个制度方面的JWST竞争力,并具有出色的潜力,研究银河系中心,系外行星和高红移星系。ERIS于2017年进行了最终设计审查,预计将于2020年在天空中亮相。本文描述了仪器的概念,概述了其预期的性能,并强调了它将最擅长的地方。
英文摘要:
ERIS is an instrument that will both extend and enhance the fundamental diffraction limited imaging and spectroscopy capability for the VLT. It will replace two instruments that are now being maintained beyond their operational lifetimes, combine their functionality on a single focus, provide a new wavefront sensing module that makes use of the facility Adaptive Optics System, and considerably improve their performance. The instrument will be competitive with respect to JWST in several regimes, and has outstanding potential for studies of the Galactic Center, exoplanets, and high redshift galaxies. ERIS had its final design review in 2017, and is expected to be on sky in 2020. This contribution describes the instrument concept, outlines its expected performance, and highlights where it will most excel.
