论文摘要
我们概述了一个位于月球表面上的50-100m光圈望远镜猫头鹰元素的概念，以解决天文学的三个主要领域，即在可居住的系外行星上发现生物签名，外科行星的地球物理学和宇宙学。当与大地球望远镜结合时，如此大的月球望远镜将允许强度干涉测量值，从而导致Pico-arcsecond Ancular分辨率。这将在许多天文学领域都有应用，并且鉴于太空机构返回月球的重新兴趣及时。
We outline a concept for OWL-Moon, a 50-100m aperture telescope located on the surface of the Moon, to address three major areas in astronomy, namely the detection of biosignatures on habitable exoplanets, the geophysics of exoplanets, and cosmology. Such a large lunar telescope, when coupled with large Earth-based telescopes, would allow Intensity Interferometric measurements, leading to pico-arcsecond angular resolution. This would have applications in many areas of astronomy and is timely in light of the renewed interest of space agencies in returning to the Moon.
