E bitsoa Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey, kapa Ariel.
Kamora ho tšehetsa lichelete tsa mmuso, litsi tsa lipatlisiso tsa UK - ho kenyeletsoa UCL, RAL Space, Science and Technology Facilities Council's (STFC) RAL Space, Lefapha la Theknoloji le UK Astronomy Technology Center, Cardiff University le University of Oxford - li tla bapala karolo ea bohlokoa morerong ona.
Morero oa Ariel ke ho utloisisa likhokahano lipakeng tsa k'hemistri ea polanete le tikoloho ea eona ka ho hlophisa lipolanete tse 1 000 tse tsebahalang kantle ho Sisteme ea rona ea Letsatsi. UK Space Agency (UKSA) e lebelletse hore sena se tla fa bo-ramahlale setšoantšo se hlakileng sa hore na li-exoplanet li entsoe ka eng, li entsoe joang le hore na li tla iphetola joang.
Mohlala, Ariel o ne a khona ho fumana matšoao a metsoako e tsebahalang sebakeng sa lipolanete joalo ka mouoane oa metsi, carbon dioxide le methane. E tla boela e bone metsoako ea tšepe ho utloisisa tikoloho ea lik'hemik'hale ka kakaretso ea setsi sa letsatsi se hole.
Bakeng sa palo e khethiloeng ea lipolanete, ho bolela UKSA, Ariel o tla etsa phuputso e tebileng ea litsamaiso tsa bona tsa maru le ho ithuta mefuta-futa ea linako tsa selemo le ea letsatsi le letsatsi.
"Re moloko oa pele o khonang ho ithuta lipolanete tse potileng linaleli tse ling," ho boletse Moprofesa Giovanna Tinetti, Mofuputsi e Moholo oa Ariel oa Univesithi ea London. “Ariel o tla sebelisa monyetla ona o ikhethang ebe o senola semelo le nalane ea linaha tse makholo tse fapaneng sehlopheng sa rona sa linaleli. Joale re ka qala mohato o latelang oa mosebetsi oa rona ho etsa hore thomo ena e phethahale. ”
Hang ha e le tseleng, Ariel o tla arolelana litaba tsa eona le sechaba ka kakaretso.
Ho bontšitsoe kaholimo ke mohlala oa maqhubu Ariel a neng a ka metha ho latela khanya e fetang sepakapakeng sa exoplanet.
Ariel esale a etsa ts'ebetso ea ho lekola ho pholletsa le 2020 mme joale o reretsoe ho e qala ka 2029.
"Ka lebaka la lichelete tsa mmuso, thomo ena e ikemiselitseng e etelletsoeng pele ke UK e tla tšoaea thuto ea pele e kholo ea lipolanete kantle ho Solar System, mme e tla nolofalletsa bo-rasaense ba rona ba etellang pele ba sebaka ho araba lipotso tsa bohlokoa mabapi le sebopeho le phetoho ea bona," ho boletse Letona la Saense Amanda Solloway.
“Ke bopaki ba mosebetsi o tsotehang oa indasteri ea sebaka sa UK, bo-rasaense ba rona ba hlollang le bafuputsi ba etelletsoeng pele ke University College London le RAL Space le balekane ba rona ba machabeng hore thomo ena e ntse e 'phahama'. Ke lebelletse ho e shebella ha e ntse e tsoela pele ho qala ka 2029. ”
Linaheng tse ling tsa 4,374 li netefalitsoe ka har'a litsamaiso tse 3 234 ho tloha ha li-exoplanet tsa pele li sibolloa lilemong tsa bo-1990, ho bolela UKSA.
