商品描述

Lucy is a NASA Discovery-class mission to send a highly capable and robust spacecraft to investigate primitive bodies near both the L4 and L5 Lagrange points with Jupiter; the Jupiter Trojan asteroids. This heretofore unexplored population of planetesimals from the outer planetary system holds vital clues to deciphering the history of the Solar System. Due to an unusual and fortuitous orbital configuration, Lucy will perform a comprehensive investigation that visits eight Trojans.

The book comprises of chapters that address all facets of the mission, including scientific investigations, spacecraft capabilities, and operational procedures during the asteroid flybys.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

露西(Lucy)是美國國家航空暨太空總署(NASA)的一項發現級任務,旨在發送一艘高效能且堅固的太空船,調查位於木星的L4和L5拉格朗日點附近的原始天體,即木星特洛伊小行星。這一尚未探索的來自外行星系的行星胚胎群體,對於解讀太陽系的歷史具有重要線索。由於一種不尋常且幸運的軌道配置,露西將進行全面的調查,造訪八顆特洛伊小行星。

本書包含了涵蓋任務各個方面的章節,包括科學調查、太空船能力以及小行星掠過期間的操作程序。

作者簡介

Harold F. Levison is the Principal Investigator of NASA's Lucy mission. His research interests lie in the area of the dynamics of astronomical objects. In particular, he focuses on the formation and long-term behavior of the solar system bodies. Dr. Levison's work includes studies of the formation of both giant and terrestrial planets, the long-term dynamical behavior of comets, the dynamics of objects in the Kuiper belt, the origin and stability of Trojan asteroids, and the formation of satellites.

Simone Marchi is an astrophysicist and Institute Scientist in the Solar System Science and Exploration Division of the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado. Marchi is author (or co-author) of more than 200 peer-reviewed publications. Marchi has published a popular science book, Colliding Worlds, for the Oxford University Press (2021). Marchi is involved in several space missions, including: Deputy Principal Investigator for NASA Lucy mission.

Keith S. Noll is the Project Scientist for Lucy, the first mission to explore the Trojan asteroids. His interests include primitive asteroids, icy satellites, and the atmospheres of giant planets, brown dwarfs, and Titan. For the last three decades he has focused on studies of the Kuiper Belt, using the Hubble to discover most of the known Kuiper Belt binaries - an activity that he has now extended to the Jupiter Trojans.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

哈羅德·F·萊維森是NASA露西任務的首席研究員。他的研究興趣集中在天文物體的動力學領域,特別是太陽系天體的形成和長期行為。萊維森博士的工作包括對巨行星和類地行星形成的研究、彗星的長期動力行為、柯伊伯帶物體的動力學、特洛伊小行星的起源與穩定性,以及衛星的形成。

西蒙·馬爾基是天體物理學家,並擔任科羅拉多州博爾德西南研究所太陽系科學與探索部的研究科學家。馬爾基是200多篇經過同行評審的出版物的作者(或共同作者)。他為牛津大學出版社出版了一本流行科學書籍《碰撞的世界》(Colliding Worlds,2021年)。馬爾基參與了幾個太空任務,包括擔任NASA露西任務的副首席研究員。

基思·S·諾爾是露西任務的項目科學家,這是第一個探索特洛伊小行星的任務。他的研究興趣包括原始小行星、冰衛星,以及巨行星、棕矮星和泰坦的氣氛。在過去的三十年中,他專注於柯伊伯帶的研究,利用哈勃太空望遠鏡發現了大多數已知的柯伊伯帶雙星,這一活動現在已擴展到木星特洛伊小行星。
