摘要:

MOONS仪器具有多路复用能力强、灵敏度高、同时光谱覆盖范围广(从光学波段到近红外波段)、巡视面积大和光纤密度高等特点。这些性质提供了前所未有的潜力,使第一次,SDSS类似的调查宇宙正午(z~1-2.5),当宇宙中的恒星形成率达到顶峰。MOONS提供的高质量光谱将对在对本地星系的广泛调查中观察到的相同星云和恒星诊断进行采样,对星系的各种物理性质的演变提供准确和一致的描述,从而对星系形成和转变的不同情景进行可靠的测试。最重要的是,通过光谱识别数十万高红移星系,MOONS调查将能够确定原始星系生活的环境,并揭示这些环境如何影响星系演化。在本文中,我们特别关注主要的保证时间观测(GTO)MOONS河外巡天MOONRISE,概述其科学目标和观测策略。

英文摘要:

The MOONS instrument possesses an exceptional combination of large multiplexing, high sensitivity, broad simultaneous spectral coverage (from optical to near-infrared bands), large patrol area and high fibre density. These properties provide the unprecedented potential of enabling, for the very first time, SDSS-like surveys around Cosmic Noon (z~1-2.5), when the star formation rate in the Universe peaked. The high-quality spectra delivered by MOONS will sample the same nebular and stellar diagnostics observed in extensive surveys of local galaxies, providing an accurate and consistent description of the evolution of various physical properties of galaxies, and hence a solid test of different scenarios of galaxy formation and transformation. Most importantly, by spectroscopically identifying hundreds of thousands of galaxies at high redshift, the MOONS surveys will be capable of determining the environments in which primeval galaxies lived and will reveal how such environments affected galaxy evolution. In this article, we specifically focus on the main Guaranteed Time Observation (GTO) MOONS extragalactic survey, MOONRISE, by providing an overview of its scientific goals and observing strategy.
