El proyecto Observatorio Espacial Mundial-Ultravioleta (WSO/UV)

Abstract

El progreso de la astrofísica moderna requiere tener acceso al espectro electromagnético en toda su extensión. El rango ultravioleta (UV) del espectro es de un interés fundamental, puesto que contiene los trazadores espectrales más sensibles de plasmas atómicos en el rango de temperaturas de los 3.000 a los 300.000K. El UV es también fundamental para el estudio de los plasmas moleculares, puesto que las transiciones electrónicas de las moléculas más abundantes del Universo (H2, CO, OH, CS, oor, C2...) se encuentran en este rango espectral. Además la radiación UV es un agente fotonionizante muy importante (y también un acelerador de la química en los entornos astronómico s). El Observatorio Espacial Mundial o World Space Observatory UV (WSOjUV) es una misión espacial dedicada a la espectroscopia UV y a la obtención de imágenes astronómicas de alta resolución. La carga útil está constituida por un telescopio de 170 cm, 4 cámaras UV, 2 cámaras ópticas, un espectrógrafo de rendija y baja resolución espectral y un espectrógrafo echelle doble de alta resolución espectral (HIRDES). Está previsto que el WSOjUV sea lanzado al punto de Lagrange 2 (L2) en el 2012. El proyecto está gestionado por un extenso consorcio mundialliderado por la Agencia Espacial Rusa (ROSCOSMOS). Esta trabajo resume las características y el estado de definición del proyecto WSO jUV en marzo de 2006, en el momento en que se cierra la edición de esta publicación.

Progress of modern astrophysics requires the access to the electromagnetic spectrum in the broadest energy range. The ultraviolet (UV) is a fundamental energy domain since it grants high sensitivity access to the study of both atomic plasmas at temperatures in the 3,000-300,000 K range and molecular plasmas illuminated by UV radiation since the electronic transitions of the most abundant molecules in the Universe (H2, eo, OH, CS, co]. C2 ... ) are in this range; the UV radiation field itself is a powerful astrochemical and photoionizing agent. The World Space Observatory - UV is a space mission devoted to UV spectroscopy and imaging. The payload is constituted by a 170cm telescope, 4 cameras working in the UV range, 2 cameras working in the optical range, a long-slit low resolution spectrograph and a double echelle high resolution spectrograph (HIRDES). WSO/UV is intended to be launched to the Lagrangian 2 (L2) point in 2010. The project is managed by a large, world-wide, consortium lead by the Russian Space Agency, ROSCOSMOS. This contribution summarizes the characteristics and state of definition of the project WSO /UV in March 2006, at the time of closing the edition of this book.
