随着JWST的即将发射，热红外天文学领域将迎来一场革命。很容易想象，红外天文学的所有领域都将得到极大的进步，但也许不可能想象到将打开的新前景。为了便于JWST的后续观测和陆基8M的继续工作，我们继续规划TIR成像仪和光谱仪的科学案例和仪器设计，以便在TMT上早期运行。我们介绍了我们的科学案例和仪器计划的现状，利用TMT合作伙伴关系中的专业知识。该仪器将由Michi团队作为第二代仪器在即将到来的任何征求建议书的征集中提出。
With the imminent launch of the JWST, the field of thermal-infrared (TIR) astronomy will enjoy a revolution. It is easy to imagine that all areas of infrared (IR) astronomy will be greatly advanced, but perhaps impossible to conceive of the new vistas that will be opened. To allow both follow-up JWST observations and a continuance of work started on the ground-based 8m’s, we continue to plan the science cases and instrument design for a TIR imager and spectrometer for early operation on the TMT. We present the current status of our science cases and the instrumentation plans, harnessing expertise across the TMT partnership. This instrument will be proposed by the MICHI team as a second-generation instrument in any upcoming calls for proposals.
