Science enabled by a 30-m telescope
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe some of the science programs that drive the need for the next generation ground-based OIR telescope. The programs are chosen to illustrate the power of such a telescope to enable new kinds of science via combinations of sensitivity, field-of-view, wavelength coverage, and spectral resolution.

Habitable Exoplanet Imager Optical Telescope Concept Design
The Habitable Exoplanet Imaging Mission (HabEx) is one of four missions under study for the 2020 Astrophysics Decadal Survey. Its goal is to directly image and spectroscopically characterize planetary systems in the habitable zone of Sunlike stars. Additionally, HabEx will perform a broad range of general astrophysics science enabled by 100 to 2500 nm spectral range and 3 x 3 arc-minute FOV. Cr...
متن کاملStellar Crowding and the Science Case for Extremely Large Telescopes
We present a study of the effect of crowding on stellar photometry. We develop an analytical model through which we are able to predict the error in magnitude and color for a given star for any combination of telescope resolution, stellar luminosity function, background surface brightness, and distance. We test our predictions with Monte Carlo simulations of the LMC globular cluster NGC 1835, f...
متن کاملO-3: Drug Repositioning by Merging Gene Expression Data Analysis and Cheminformatics Target Prediction Approaches
The transcriptional responses of drug treatments combined with a protein target prediction algorithm was utilised to associate compounds to biological genomic space. This enabled us to predict efficacy of compounds in cMap and LINCS against 181 databases of diseases extracted from GEO. 18/30 of top drugs predicted for leukemia (e.g. Leflunomide and Etoposide) and breast cancer (e.g. Tamoxifen a...

www.sciencemag.org SCIENCE VOL 325 14 AUGUST 2009 785 COVER Pulsars in our Galaxy newly discovered by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, launched in June 2008. The objects emit broad gamma-ray beams that have enabled Fermi to locate a never-before-seen population. Fermi has also seen pulsars with millisecond periods and has detected at least one globular cluster (center left). See the Researc...
متن کاملThirty Meter Telescope : observatory software requirements , architecture , and preliminary implementation strategies
The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) will be a ground-based, 30-m optical-IR alt-az telescope with a highly segmented primary mirror located in a remote location. Efficient science operations require the asynchronous coordination of many different sub-systems including telescope mount, three independent active optics sub-systems, adaptive optics, laser guide stars, and user-configured science instr...
