Exoplanets spectroscopy with diffraction primary objective telescopes -T...
Δημοσιεύτηκε στις 22 Φεβ 2016
When
diffraction is employed as the primary collector modality of a
telescope instead of reflection or refraction, a new set of performance
capabilities emerges. A diffraction-based telescope forms a spectrogram
first and an image as secondary data. The results are startling. In
multiple object capability, the diffraction telescope on earth can
capture 2 million spectra to R bigger than 100,000 in a single night,
better for a census of exoplanets by radial velocity than any prior art.
In a space telescope in a direct observation mode, this type
diffraction primary objective could reveal spectral analyses of
individual exoplanets. We introduce three embodiments: THE MOST, HOMES
and ADEDPT.
