Hector-1: completing the revolutionary multi integral field spectrograph

该项目旨在完成一个革命性的新仪器，赫克托-1将安装在英澳望远镜。Hector-1建立在非常成功的SAMI仪器的基础上，具有新的，更大的，3-D光谱成像光纤束和世界上任何同类仪器中分辨率最高的光谱仪。Hector-1将实现有史以来最大规模的3D邻近星系调查。Hector-1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。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特性方面，预计将取得重大突破。

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.
