MAAT白皮书@ GTC
White Paper on MAAT@GTC
摘要：
MAAT被提议作为访客镜切片器光学系统，该系统将允许10.4 m Gran telescopio CANARIAS（GTC）上的OSIRIS摄谱仪能够在视限FoV 14.20“x10”上执行积分场光谱学（IFS），切片宽度为0.303“。MAAT@GTC将使OSIRIS的分辨率比其0.6“宽的长缝提高1.6倍。所有11个OSIRIS光栅和体相位全息光栅将可用于在3600 - 10000 nm波长范围内提供具有中等分辨率（R=600至4100）的宽光谱覆盖。MAAT独特的观测能力将扩大其用途，以满足GTC社区的需求，揭示宇宙中最引人注目的现象的本质，远远超出时域天文学。配备OSIRIS+MAAT的GTC还将在与其他设施的协同作用中发挥重要作用，其中一些设施在La Palma的ORM北部运行。本白皮书介绍了MAAT@GTC的不同方面-包括科学和技术规格、杰出的科学案例以及仪器概念的概述。
英文摘要：
MAAT is proposed as a visitor mirror-slicer optical system that will allow the OSIRIS spectrograph on the 10.4-m Gran telescopio CANARIAS (GTC) the capability to perform Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS) over a seeing-limited FoV 14.20''x10'' with a slice width of 0.303''. MAAT@GTC will enhance the resolution power of OSIRIS by 1.6 times as compared to its 0.6'' wide long-slit. All the eleven OSIRIS grisms and volume-phase holographic gratings will be available to provide broad spectral coverage with moderate resolution (R=600 up to 4100) in the 3600 - 10000 Å wavelength range. MAAT unique observing capabilities will broaden its use to the needs of the GTC community to unveil the nature of most striking phenomena in the universe well beyond time-domain astronomy. The GTC equipped with OSIRIS+MAAT will also play a fundamental role in synergy with other facilities, some of them operating on the northern ORM at La Palma. This White Paper presents the different aspects of MAAT@GTC - including scientific and technical specifications, outstanding science cases, and an outline of the instrument concept.
