Dust stripping in cluster galaxies: a PRIMA perspective
Alessandro Boselli, Marc Sauvage, Laure Ciesla
The evolution of galaxies in rich environments such as clusters and groups can be significantly perturbed during their interaction with nearby companions (tidal interactions) or wi…
The Far-Infrared Enhanced Survey Spectrometer (FIRESS) for PRIMA: Science Drivers
Klaus M. Pontoppidan, Alberto Bolatto, J D Smith +25
We present the science drivers for the Far-Infrared Enhanced Survey Spectrometer (FIRESS), one of two science instrument on the PRobe Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA). FIR…
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…
The PRIMA promise of deciphering interstellar dust evolution with observations of the nearby Universe
Frédéric Galliano, Maarten Baes, Léo Belloir +25
This paper develops a few science cases, using the PRIMA far-IR probe, aimed at achieving several breakthroughs in our understanding of the dust properties and their evolution. We…
Simulation of the Far-Infrared Polarimetry Approach Envisioned for the PRIMA Mission
C. Darren Dowell, Brandon S. Hensley, Marc Sauvage
Interest in the study of magnetic fields and the properties of interstellar dust, explored through increasingly capable far-IR/submillimeter polarimetry, along with maturing detect…
