摘要:

对银河系和其他本星系群中已解析的恒星星族的研究可以为我们提供数十亿年时间尺度上它们的化学动力学和恒星形成历史的化石记录。在银河系及其卫星的星系组成部分和恒星系统中,可以分辨出单个恒星。因此,它们代表了一个独特的实验室,在其中研究盘状和矮/不规则星系形成和演化背后的过程细节。VLT的MOONS代表了高效红外多目标摄谱仪和大口径8米级望远镜的独特组合,该望远镜将对银河系及其卫星密集中心区域的冷恒星星族进行采样,在其寿命期间为数百万颗恒星提供准确的径向速度,金属丰度和其他化学丰度(见Cirasuolo等人,本期)。MOONS将在光学和近红外(0.6-1.8微米)的25弧分视场内同时观察多达1000个目标。设计了H波段高分辨率(R~19700)装置,用于精确测定α、光、铁峰和中子俘获元素等恒星丰度。

英文摘要:

The study of resolved stellar populations in the Milky Way and other Local Group galaxies can provide us with a fossil record of their chemo-dynamical and star-formation histories over timescales of many billions of years. In the galactic components and stellar systems of the Milky Way and its satellites, individual stars can be resolved. Therefore, they represent a unique laboratory in which to investigate the details of the processes behind the formation and evolution of the disc and dwarf/irregular galaxies. MOONS at the VLT represents a unique combination of an efficient infrared multi-object spectrograph and a large-aperture 8-m-class telescope which will sample the cool stellar populations of the dense central regions of the Milky Way and its satellites, delivering accurate radial velocities, metallicities, and other chemical abundances for several millions of stars over its lifetime (see Cirasuolo et al., this issue). MOONS will observe up to 1000 targets across a 25-arcminute field of view in the optical and near-infrared (0.6-1.8 micron) simultaneously. A high-resolution (R~19700) setting in the H band has been designed for the accurate determination of stellar abundances such as alpha, light, iron-peak and neutron-capture elements.
