Abstract

AbstractThe SPace Infrared telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA) is a proposed mid-to-far infrared $(4 – 200 μ m)$ astronomy mission, scheduled for launch in 2017. A single, 3.5m aperture telescope would provide superior image quality at $5 – 200 μ m$ , and its very cold $(\sim 5 K)$ instrumentation would provide superior sensitivity in the 25–200 $μ$ m wavelength regimes. This would provide a breakthrough opportunity for studies of exoplanets, protoplanetary and debris disk, and small solar system bodies. This paper summarizes the potential scientific impacts for the proposed instrumentation.
