Understanding the origins of the Earth and our Solar System comprises one of the landmark challenges for contemporary astronomy. This project will commission the VAMPIRES instrument which will open a unique window upon planetary nurseries around distant stars. These dusty disks will be perturbed by any newborn planets orbiting within causing several subtle signatures which our instrument is designed to read. Such data will make a critical contribution to our understanding of planetary assembly. Revealing the primordial state, before the onset of structural changes as the system evolves, informs expectations for exoplanetary system architecture and for the chance that life is harboured around distant stars.

了解地球和太阳系的起源是当代天文学面临的具有里程碑意义的挑战之一。这个项目将委托吸血鬼仪器，这将打开一个独特的窗口，在遥远的恒星周围的行星托儿所。这些尘埃飞扬的圆盘会受到任何围绕其运行的新生行星的干扰，从而产生一些微妙的特征，我们的仪器旨在读取这些特征。这样的数据将对我们理解行星组合做出重要贡献。揭示系统演化过程中结构变化开始之前的原始状态，为系外行星系统架构和生命在遥远恒星周围存在的可能性提供了预期。
