时域河外巡天(TiDES)的重点是对即将到来的大型巡天(如大型天气巡天望远镜(LSST))中选择的河外光学瞬态和可变源进行光谱跟踪。TiDES包含三个子调查:(i)类超新星瞬变的光谱观测;(ii)对瞬态宿主星系进行全面跟踪,以获得宇宙学应用所需的红移测量;(三)重复光谱观测,使活动星系核的混响映射成为可能。我们的模拟预测我们将能够将瞬变分类到$r = 22.5$等(AB),并且在4MOST操作的五年里,获得多达30,000个活瞬变的光谱,红移$z \sim 0.5$,测量多达50,000个瞬态宿主星系的红移$z \sim 1$,并监测大约700个活动星系核到$z \sim 2.5$。
The Time-Domain Extragalactic Survey (TiDES) is focused on the spectroscopic follow-up of extragalactic optical transients and variable sources selected from forthcoming large sky surveys such as that from the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). TiDES contains three sub-surveys: (i) spectroscopic observations of supernova-like transients; (ii) comprehensive follow-up of transient host galaxies to obtain redshift measurements for cosmological applications; and (iii) repeat spectroscopic observations to enable the reverberation mapping of active galactic nuclei. Our simulations predict we will be able to classify transients down to $r = 22.5$ magnitudes (AB) and, over five years of 4MOST operations, obtain spectra for up to 30,000 live transients to redshift $z \sim 0.5$, measure redshifts for up to 50,000 transient host galaxies to $z \sim 1$ and monitor around 700 active galactic nuclei to $z \sim 2.5$.
