Infrared space astrometry mission for survey of the Galactic nuclear bulge: Small-JASMINE
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 May 2020
Abstract
Small-JASMINE will provide astrometric data with high precisions in a near infrared band for stars in the Galactic nuclear bulge and other specific targets. The primary scientific objective is to carry out the Galactic Center Archeology by exploring the Galactic nuclear bulge that leads to the elucidation of the Galactic structures and the evolution of the supermassive black hole at the center. Small-JASMINE has been selected as the unique candidate for the competitive 3rd M-class science satellite mission by ISAS/JAXA. The launch date is mid-2020s.
