摘要:

我们提出了战略科学计划(SSP)的方向和双子座天文台在2020年代的活动。首要目标是确保Gemini在未来十年中最好地利用现有资源,满足其国际用户群体的需求。可采取行动的项目分为三大类:(1)保留双子座现有的设施和优势;(2)开发仪器和软件系统,包括数据管道,以实现建立在这些优势基础上的新的科学能力;(3)制定战略如何访问仪器可以提供额外的有价值的能力。我们提供了本SSP中讨论的主要开发的高级时间轴(在一个图中示意性地示出)。这个计划是雄心勃勃的,但考虑到最近美国国家科学基金会(NSF)颁发的多信使天文学时代的双子座(GEMMA)奖,这个计划是可以实现的。列出了里程碑以衡量进展。随着这些里程碑的实现和新仪器的出现,一些现有仪器将需要退役;我们在这方面提出建议。最后一节最后再次强调致力于满足所有成员需求的强有力伙伴关系的重要性。

英文摘要:

We present the Strategic Scientific Plan (SSP) for the direction and activities of the Gemini Observatory in the 2020s. The overarching goal is to ensure that Gemini best uses the available resources to serve the needs of its international user community throughout the coming decade. The actionable items fall into three general categories: (1) preserving Gemini's current facilities and strengths; (2) developing instrumentation and software systems, including data pipelines, to enable new scientific capabilities that build on those strengths; (3) strategizing how visiting instruments can deliver additional valuable capabilities. We provide a high-level timeline (schematically illustrated in one figure) for the main developments discussed in this SSP. The schedule is ambitious, but in light of the recent Gemini in the Era of Multi-Messenger Astronomy (GEMMA) award from the NSF, the plan becomes achievable. Lists of milestones are given for gauging progress. As these milestones are reached and new instruments become available, some current instruments will need to be retired; we make recommendations in this regard. The final section concludes by reemphasizing the importance of a strong partnership committed to the needs of all members.
