Hector-1: completing the revolutionary multi integral field spectrograph

该项目旨在完成一种革命性的新仪器--赫克托-1号，该仪器将安装在英澳望远镜上。Hector-1以非常成功的SAMI仪器为基础，配备了新的、更大的3-D光谱成像光纤束和世界上任何同类仪器中最高分辨率的光谱仪。赫克托一号将以3-D的形式对附近星系进行有史以来最大规模的探测。赫克托一号的数据将能够追踪气体和恒星的运动学，并绘制15,000个星系的电离机制图。在理解环境如何影响星系如何演化以具有在本地宇宙中看到的广泛物理性质方面，有望取得重大突破。

This project aims to complete a revolutionary new instrument, Hector-1 to be installed on the Anglo-Australian Telescope. Hector-1 builds on the highly successful SAMI instrument with new, larger, 3-D spectroscopic-imaging optical fibre bundles and the highest resolution spectrographs of any instrument of its type in the world. Hector-1 will enable the largest ever survey of nearby galaxies in 3-D. The Hector-1 data will be able to trace the kinematics of gas and stars as well as mapping ionisation mechanisms across 15,000 galaxies. Major breakthroughs are expected in understanding how the environment affects how galaxies evolve to have the broad-ranging physical properties seen in the local Universe.
