  1. Infrared Space Astrometry missions: JASMINE Naoteru Gouda Director of JASMINE Project Office National Astronomical Observatory of Japan 7 August, 2015 ★JASMINE ーJapan Astrometry Satellite Mission for INfrared Exploration－ 1

  2. ◎Japanese group is promoting space astrometry missions, JASMINEprojects series, in international collaboration with Gaia DPAC team. JASMINE will play complementary roles of Gaia missions. the late 2020s 2021(?)- 2017(?)-

  3. §1. Nano-JASMINE First space astrometry in Japan use of a very small satellite (nano-satellite) Nano-JASMINE satellite: size~(50cm)3 weight~35 kg 5cm diameter of a primary mirror with a focal length of ~1.67m All Sky Survey in zw-band(0.6~1.0mm) Target precision of parallaxes: ~3mas( zw<7.5mag) Orbit: sun-synchronized orbit ~800km Observing strategy :Hipparcos and Gaia type 3

  4. Flight Model was accomplished in Oct. 2010. The development of the spacecraft bus system hasbeen done in collaboration with Prof Nakasuka’s laboratory at the University of Tokyo. Fabrication of telescope All mirrors and their structural supports are shaped out of aluminum alloys All reflecting surfaces were fabricated with diamond turning machine Assembled telescope Totally weigh: 1.7kg Optical component (deposited by Cr and Au) 4 4

  5. Objectives of Nano-JASMINE *first demonstration of space astrometry in JAPAN We can experience almost the same process from the preliminary design, development to the operation as that in a big satellite. *Examinations of technical issues for Small-JASMINE and JASMINE ・on-board processing: stellar image extractor *To get proper motions with high precisions bycombining a Nano-JASMINE catalogue with the Hipparcos catalogue proper motion precision~0.1mas/yr *Determination of orbits of binaries with long periods(10 ~40years) The position of a star measured by N-J in 2017 will make it possible to derive the accurate proper motion proper motion 2017 5

  6. ★Complement of the Gaia mission ＊It is hard for the Gaia mission to measure the centroids of the bright stars(<6mag) due to the saturation of stellar images on its detectors. ＊At present, Gaia is the unique space astrometry mission operating the whole sky survey. The validation of the quality of the Gaia data requires other independent data of, in particular, proper motions measured over the whole sky for their calibrations. Nano-JASMINE ◎Weare promoting Nano-JASMINE in close relation to the Gaia mission. The data analysis software of Nano-JASMINE has been developing in good collaboration with Gaia DPAC team(in particular, CU3). In addition, Gaia team (in particular, CU9) and JASMIE team are aiming to make a data archive together composed of the Gaia catalogue and the Nano-JASMINE catalogue (funds: EU-FP7 of GENIUS) JASMINE team greatly appreciate Gaia team’s strong support!

  8. ★Scientific outputs expected by Nano-JASMINE By science working group(Chair: Prof.Nishi (Niigata Univ.)) 〇binary systems with long periods e.g. Polaris A and B with the orbital period of 29.59 yrs 〇discrimination between optical double stars and physical binaries e.g. Mizar and Alcor (degree of confidence: 1.1s (HIP)=>8.3s (HIP+NJ) 〇the birthplaces of massive stars e.g. Betelgeuse in Orion 〇the structure and evolution of massive star formation regions e.g. inner motions of maser spots measured by VERA relative to a star 〇the positions and motions of neaby star clusters e.g. Hyades and Pleiades clusters 〇origin of runaway stars

  9. Preparatory state of Nano-JASMINE *Maintenance of FM: continuous tests of performance of the telescope Measurement of PSF *Ground stations: Tokyo station: 3m antenna at the University of Tokyo Uplink and downlink of HK data of the satellite Mizusawa station: 10m antenna at Mizusawa campus of NAOJ. Downlink of scientific data *Trainings simulating actual operation: *Data analysis: The software has been developing in good collaboration with GaiaDPAC team (CU3&CU9)!

  10. Launch Launcher： 　　　*Cyclone4 (Yuzhnoye: Ukraine) Launch schedule at the present time: the end of 2015 The launch has been pushed back due to delays in the construction of the Alcantara Space Center launch site in Brazil. Yuzhnoye company told us in Feb.2014 that we will have tests for adjusting the rocket/satellite interface in Ukraine using our EM in April , 2014. Instability of political situation in Ukraine since Feb. 2014… The schedule of the tests in Ukraine is still uncertain. The construction of the space port has not started again yet. Spaceport@Alcantara, Brazil We are concerning about the further postpone of the launch. It is very difficult to find another launch service because we have some constraints (cost, orbit, separation mechanism etc.) for the launch of Nano-JASMINE. We have possibility now that ESA can launch the Nano-JASMINE satellite in late 2017. Gaia team is strongly supporting the launch by ESA. 10

  11. §2. Small-JASMINE We have been aiming at the submission of a proposal for the Small-JASMINE mission to the small science satellite program executed by JAXA. Astrometric Measurement in Hw-band (1.1mm~1.7mm) Infrared astrometry missions have advantage in surveying the Galactic nuclear bulge, hidden by interstellar dust in optical bands! Precision: parallax: 10 m as ~20 m as for Hw<11.5mag proper motion: 10m as/yr ~50 m as/yr for Hw<11.5mag photometry(Hw-band) <0.01 mag Survey modes １．survey for the key project in spring and autumn 2. survey for open use in summer and winter Nuclear bulge around the Galactic center some directions toward interesting target objects Advantage of Small-JASMINE: High frequent measurements of the same target every 100 minutes! (e.g CygX-1, planetary systems of brown dwarfs, star-forming regions besides the area near the center) 11 Phenomena with short periods

  12. ★main scientific objective of Small-JASMINE Distribution function E L By science working group(Chair: Prof.Umemura (Tsukuba Univ.)) SJ will provide scientific outputs over the widely spread fields of astronomy and astrophysics. A. .Astrophysics around the Galactic center 1．Why do supper massive black holes(SMBHs) exit in our universe? merging of small BHs? one of the biggest issues in astrophysics! need observational data on SMBHs *precise and detailed data =>nearest SMBH  SMBH at our Galactic center (4 million times the solar mass) Merging of small BHs (dynamical friction) Effect on stellar phase space distribution SJ’s data will determine whether the SMBH was formed through merging process of multiple black holes with more than 99.7% confidence level. Enough number of stars measured with high precisions by SJ

  13. 2. Prediction of future activity around the Galactic center Gas fueling is very important for activities of galactic nuclei, the growth of SMBH, nuclear star bursts and the formation of super star clusters in a galactic central region. *need to clarify transport mechanism of gas to galactic centers *detailed and precise observational data our Galactic center ◎ candidate of key processes for transportation of gas : bar structure at the galactic nuclear bulge region (within ~300pc away from the Galactic center) *Existence of an inner bar? If yes, feature of the (inner) bar potential? rotating bar=>Complicated orbits: coexistence of X1 and X2 orbits Losing angular momentum and energy of gas SJ’s data will constrain models of the gravitational potential in the Galactic nuclear bulge region (within ~300pc away from the Galactic center) *Galactic model:bar (Ferres model)+bulge (exponential profile) + disk (Sofue model)+ dark halo (NFW) +supermassive black hole Bar potential with the figure rotationΩ For example, SJ will determine whether the pattern speed Ω of the potential has a value larger than ~150km/s/kpc with more than 99.7% confidence level. If yes, it is easy for gas to transport to the region around the center. *A numerical simulation suggests that the gas can accrete to the central region of the Galaxy if the pattern angular speed is larger than around 150km/s/kpc.

  14. (3) Motion of star clusters the origins of star clusters around the Galactic center (4)Anaysis of symbiotic X-ray binaries  the origin of X-ray emission spread along the galactic plane. B. Astrophysics besides the Galactic center (5) Compact celestial objects Determination of orbit element of X-ray binaries and g-ray binaries  Big revolution! physics of accretion disk and jets, etc. *a good candidate of X-ray bursts：Cyg X-1:(l=71°, b=+3°) period:5.6 days( unmeasurable by Gaia) companion star: mv~9mag , change of the position: 40~50μas measurable by Small-JASMINE *gCas: WD or NS=>1s degree of confidence, HESS J0632: NS or BH (2s) (6) Extra-planets detection of planets by astrometric method *determination of mass with precisions of <20% for stars measured by RV *primary star: low-mass star(late M-dwarf, brawn dwarf): H-10mag,V=16-18mag (7)Gravitational lens: Search of Wormholes!? (8)Stellar physics, Star formation ＊3-Ddistribution of inter -stellar dust ＊annual parallax and proper motions of Mira-type variable stars in the bulge

  16. ★We have accomplished the conceptual design of the satellite system in which the mission requirements and system requirements are satisfied. ○capabilitiy of the mission instrument ＊decrease in the stray light 　　＊decrease in contamination and outgas ＊thermal environment around the telescope(278K ) and detector(<170K). 　　＊the stability of the thermal structure 　＊poiting stability of the telescope ○telemetry：X-band for downlink of scientific data ○command & data Handling ：no big issues ○attitude control：no big issues ○electric power：enough margin ○data anaysis： ○cost(including the budget for risk management)： within the upper limit(8.5 billion JPN) for the small science satellite program executed by JAXA. We will perform multiple steps to verify the feasibility of the critical techniques by constructing various manufacturing models (BBM, EM, PFM and FM) *optics, (thermal stable) structure, thermal control

  17. ★Present status The establishment of the Small-JASMINE working group at JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency) was approved in January 2009 by a science committee of ISAS (Institute of Space and Astronautical Science) of JAXA. The WG is entitled to apply for R&D funds and to submit a mission proposal. JASMINE-WG has got the funds for R&D and has been promoting some feasibility tests for some key techniques necessary to realize the Small-JASMINE satellite. Our working group has been aiming at submitting a mission proposal for the ISAS call for small-sized scientific satellite mission proposals. Last year, we submitted the mission proposal to ISAS/JAXA. SJ got the highest scores among the proposed “ 4 science missions” for its scientific significance and feasibility. However, it is regret that SJ did not remain as a final candidate (the final candidate is an engineering mission (the first landing on the moon in Japan), not a science mission. The ISAS call will be opened in this August and the dead line is this November. We are now preparing the revised documents necessary to submit the mission proposal with our best efforts. Thank you very much for your strong support!
