论文摘要
Atacama大型孔径亚毫米望远镜(Atlast)是一个50m类的单端望远镜的概念,它将提供高灵敏度,快速地映射(亚)毫米天的天空。预计将由可再生能源提供动力,并在2030年代在Atacama沙漠中建造,Atlast的最多六种最先进的仪器将利用其较大的视野和高通量来提供高效的连续性和镜头,以提供有效的连续性和光谱观测,以阐明较大的大型,大规模发射的设施。在这里,我们介绍了望远镜特征的关键科学驱动力,并讨论了变革型科学目标对未来仪器的限制。
The Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) is a concept for a 50m class single-dish telescope that will provide high sensitivity, fast mapping of the (sub-)millimeter sky. Expected to be powered by renewable energy sources, and to be constructed in the Atacama desert in the 2030s, AtLAST's suite of up to six state-of-the-art instruments will take advantage of its large field of view and high throughput to deliver efficient continuum and spectroscopic observations of the faint, large-scale emission that eludes current facilities. Here we present the key science drivers for the telescope characteristics, and discuss constraints that the transformational science goals place on future instrumentation.
