Design and development of the PRIMAger instrument for PRIMA
Anne Costille, Fabrice Madec, Johan Floriot +11
PRIMA (PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics) is an infrared space observatory designed to operate over the next decade. Equipped with a 1.8 m telescope actively cooled to 4.…
PRIMA: PRIMAger, a far-infrared hyperspectral and polarimetric instrument
Laure Ciesla, Charles Darren Dowell, Marc Sauvage +27
The PRobe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) is an infrared observatory for the next decade, currently in Phase A, with a 1.8m telescope actively cooled to 4.5K. On boar…
Challenges in focal plane and telescope calibration for High-Precision Space Astrometry
F. Malbet, M. Lizzana, F. Pancher +10
With sub-microarcsecond angular accuracy, the \theia telescope will be capable of revealing the architectures of nearby exoplanetary systems down to the mass of Earth. This researc…
Theia : science cases and mission profiles for high precision astrometry in the future
Fabien Malbet, Lucas Labadie, Alessandro Sozzetti +11
High-precision astrometry well beyond the capacities of Gaia will provide a unique way to achieve astrophysical breakthroughs, in particular on the nature of dark matter, and a com…
Faint objects in motion: the new frontier of high precision astrometry
Fabien Malbet, Céline Boehm, Alberto Krone-Martins +83
Sky survey telescopes and powerful targeted telescopes play complementary roles in astronomy. In order to investigate the nature and characteristics of the motions of very faint ob…
Theia: Faint objects in motion or the new astrometry frontier
The Theia Collaboration, Celine Boehm, Alberto Krone-Martins +96
In the context of the ESA M5 (medium mission) call we proposed a new satellite mission, Theia, based on relative astrometry and extreme precision to study the motion of very faint…
A detector interferometric calibration experiment for high precision astrometry
A. Crouzier, F. Malbet, F. Henault +23
Context: Exoplanet science has made staggering progress in the last two decades, due to the relentless exploration of new detection methods and refinement of existing ones. Yet ast…
WFIRST-2.4: What Every Astronomer Should Know
D. Spergel, N. Gehrels, J. Breckinridge +43
The Astro2010 Decadal Survey recommended a Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) as its top priority for a new large space mission. The report of the WFIRST-AFTA Science De…
Wide-Field InfraRed Survey Telescope (WFIRST) Final Report
J. Green, P. Schechter, C. Baltay +51
In December 2010, NASA created a Science Definition Team (SDT) for WFIRST, the Wide Field Infra-Red Survey Telescope, recommended by the Astro 2010 Decadal Survey as the highest pr…
NEAT: a space born astrometric mission for the detection and characterization of nearby habitable planetary systems
Fabien Malbet, Renaud Goullioud, Pierre-Olivier Lagage +4
The NEAT (Nearby Earth Astrometric Telescope) mission is a proposal submitted to ESA for its 2010 call for M-size mission within the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 plan. The main scientif…
Micro-pixel accuracy centroid displacement estimation and detector calibration
Chengxing Zhai, Mike Shao, Renaud Goullioud +1
Precise centroid estimation plays a critical role in accurate astrometry using telescope images. Conventional centroid estimation fits a template point spread function (PSF) to the…
