Abstract
SCORPIO is the next facility instrument for the Gemini South telescope at Cerro Pachon, Chile. SCORPIO’s main science driver is the detection and monitoring of faint time-domain events, in particular the follow-up of discoveries by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, but it can also carry out with unique efficiency a large variety of astrophysical programs. The instrument has recently passed Critical Design Review and is now in its Assembly, Integration and Verification phase. In this paper we provide an updated overview of the final instrument design and the main performance parameters in light of the science drivers.
天蝎座是位于智利Cerro Pachon的双子座南望远镜的下一个设备。天蝎座的主要科学驱动力是对微弱时域事件的探测和监测,特别是Vera C. Rubin天文台的后续发现,但它也可以以独特的效率执行各种各样的天体物理计划。该仪器最近通过了关键设计评审,目前正处于组装、集成和验证阶段。在本文中,我们根据科学驱动因素提供了最终仪器设计和主要性能参数的最新概述。
