NASA's K2 Mission: Extending Kepler's Legacy - Tom Barclay (SETI Talks)
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 28 Αυγ 2015
The
NASA K2 mission makes use of the Kepler spacecraft to expand upon
Kepler's groundbreaking discoveries in the fields of exoplanets and
astrophysics through new and exciting observations. K2 uses an
innovative way of operating the spacecraft by carefully balancing the
pressure of photons coming from the Sun. The K2 mission offers
long-term, simultaneous optical observation of thousands of objects at
high precision. Ecliptic fields are observed for approximately 75-days
enabling a unique exoplanet survey which fills the gaps in duration and
sensitivity between the Kepler and TESS missions, and offers exoplanet
target identification for JWST transit spectroscopy. Astrophysics
observations with K2 include studies of young open clusters such as the
Pleiades and Hyades, galaxies, supernovae, and galactic archeology.
