The Molecular Hydrogen Explorer H2EX
F. Boulanger, J. P. Maillard, P. Appleton +12
The Molecular Hydrogen Explorer, H2EX, was proposed in response to the ESA 2015 - 2025 Cosmic Vision Call as a medium class space mission with NASA and CSA participations. The miss…
The Space Infrared Interferometric Telescope (SPIRIT): High-resolution imaging and spectroscopy in the far-infrared
David Leisawitz, Charles Baker, Amy Barger +53
We report results of a recently-completed pre-Formulation Phase study of SPIRIT, a candidate NASA Origins Probe mission. SPIRIT is a spatial and spectral interferometer with an ope…
ExoPTF Science Uniquely Enabled by Far-IR Interferometry: Probing the Formation of Planetary Systems, and Finding and Characterizing Exoplanets
David Leisawitz, Tom Armstrong, Chad Bender +28
By providing sensitive sub-arcsecond images and integral field spectroscopy in the 25 - 400 micron wavelength range, a far-IR interferometer will revolutionize our understanding of…
First ground-based 200-um observing with THUMPER on JCMT - sky characterisation and planet maps
D. Ward-Thompson, P. A. R. Ade, H. Araujo +19
We present observations that were carried out with the Two HUndred Micron PhotometER (THUMPER) mounted on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) in Hawaii, at a wavelength of 200…
Wide-field Imaging Interferometry Testbed II: Implementation, Performance, and Plans
S. A. Rinehart, Bradley J. Frey, David T. Leisawitz +6
The Wide-Field Imaging Interferometry Testbed (WIIT) will provide valuable information for the development of space-based interferometers. This laboratory instrument operates at op…
The Wide-Field Imaging Interferometry Testbed III. Metrology Subsystem
D. B. Leviton, B. J. Frey, D. T. Leisawitz +6
In order for data products from WIIT to be as robust as possible, the alignment and mechanical positions of source, receiver, and detector components must be controlled and measure…
