TL;DR
WHITE is a high-resolution infrared telescope designed for focused legacy surveys, aiming to study galaxy evolution, star formation, and dark energy through wide-field imaging and time-variable observations.
Contribution
WHITE introduces a dedicated ground-based infrared telescope with high angular resolution and wide field, optimized for specific large-scale surveys in the 1-5 um range.
Findings
High angular resolution (~0.3'') over 0.7 sq. deg.
Deep observations through frame stacking.
Temporal data for variable object studies.
Abstract
The Wide-field High-resolution Infrared TElescope (WHITE) will be dedicated in the first years of its life to carrying out a few (well focused in terms of science objectives and time) legacy surveys. WHITE would have an angular resolution of ~0.3'' homogeneous over ~0.7 sq. deg. in the wavelength range 1 - 5 um, which means that we will very efficiently use all the available observational time during night time and day time. Moreover, the deepest observations will be performed by summing up shorter individual frames. We will have a temporal information that can be used to study variable objects. The three key science objectives of WHITE are : 1) A complete survey of the Magellanic Clouds to make a complete census of young stellar objects in the clouds and in the bridge and to study their star formation history and the link with the Milky Way. The interaction of the two clouds with…
