A Far-Infrared Spectro-Spatial Space Interferometer

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the development of an end-to-end simulator, this thesis explores the physics and computational techniques necessary for predicting the performance of a Space-based Far Infrared Interferometer. It discusses the science capabilities and state-of-the-art instrumentation needed to advance beyond current space telescopes. The work outlines mission requirements and a promising technique that merges spectroscopy with spatial interferometry. Additionally, it addresses the complexities of simulation, including instrument non-idealities, and concludes with performance examples targeting young star formation regions.
