  1. Future Far Infrared Space FacilitiesMatt GriffinSchool of Physics and AstronomyCardiff University

  2. • Resolve of the FIR background into individual galaxies and study their internal structure spectroscopically- Star formation to z > 5 - Role of AGN in galaxy evolution - Assembly of Milky-Way type galaxies • Observe the birth and death of the first stars - Formation from primordial material - First injection of heavy elements into proto-galaxies Key Scientific Goals: Galaxy Formation and Evolution

  3. • Direct observation of all stages of star and planetary system formation • Imaging and spectroscopy of dust, ice, and gas - Disk accretion and gas dissipation - Dust mineralogy - Physical and chemical structure of disks - Decoupling of proto-planetary material from the star-forming gas in the centre - Prebiotic chemistry Key Scientific Goals: Planetary System Formation

  4. Sensitivity and Wavelength Coverage • Warm telescope limits sensitivity • Wavelength gap - 30-60 mm not covered by JWST or Herschel

  5. Thermal Backgrounds

  6. SPICA Launch ~ 2018 • 3-m telescope at 4.5 K - Diffraction-limited at 5 mm - l = 5 – 200+ mm • Instruments - MIR Camera & Spectrometer - Coronagraphic capability - FIR Camera & Spectrometer (SAFARI)- 3.5” at 50 μm - l/Dl 3; ~ 1000 • Spectroscopy of nearby and high-z galaxies • Formation of planetary systems

  20.  Proposed in 2007 for Cosmic Vision (led by Rob Ivison and Frank Helmich) Well received scientifically Two or three cold apertures with central beam combiner Double Fourier spatial-spectral interferometer Baseline up to 1 km l = 25 – 400 mm 0.02” resolution at 100 mm (= 1 AU at 50 pc) l/Dl = 5000 PACS 5-s; 10 hrs ESI 5-s; 10 hrs

  21. New ESA Call for Large Missions  L-class missions = “pillars” - L1 already selected (JUICE) for launch in 2022 - L2 and L3 launches envisaged in 2028 and 2034  L-class mission envelope ~ €1B cost to ESA - Max contribution from other agency = 20% Selection process - Call for science themes now issued - 20-page white papers: ~ 16 pages on science; ~ 4 pages on straw-man mission concept(s) - Senior Review Committee will select science themes for L2 and L3 - Call for mission proposals for L2 in 2014 - Call for L3 mission proposals ~ end of this decade

  22. ESA Call for Large Misisons PACS 5-s; 10 hrs ESI 5-s; 10 hrs

  23.  EU FP-7 programme, started Jan. 2013 •  Objectives: - Update science case for space-borne FIR interferometry - Define corresponding mission concept and requirements - Develop end-end simulator - Assess and advance key technology areas

  24. Plans for FIR Interferometer White Paper(s)  Direct detection science/concept being coordinated by Rob Ivison and Giorgio Savini  Heterodyne concept being coordinated by Frank Helmichand Andrey Baryshev PACS 5-s; 10 hrs ESI 5-s; 10 hrs

  26. Conclusions • High sensitivity, high angular resolution FIR facilities areneeded as an essential complement to ALMA- Formation of planetary systems - Physics of the ISM in distant galaxies - Relationship between AGN and their host galaxies • SPICA is the next step, with a huge increase in sensitivity and spectroscopic power • A FIR interferometer will be proposed as a potential L-class ESA mission
