The University of Tokyo), Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, Japan, The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy comprises a 2.7m diameter telescope mounted in a heavily modified B747SP aircraft. The SOFIA program is a joint US NASA and German DLR program, with the development and operations costs split roughly 80%:20%, respectively. Although the observatory is funded by these two nations, its observing time is open to proposals from astronomers of any nationality. The observatory has been flying and taking scientific data since 2010 and currently observes astronomical targets from the stratosphere for approximately 800 research flight hours per year. Six science instruments (with an seventh coming online in 2019) cover the visible to sub-millimeter wavelengths with a variety of spectral resolving powers ranging up to 1 × 10(exp 8). The AKARI Archive with its 1.7 to 180 micrometers wavelength coverage is a natural complementary source for follow-up observations with SOFIA. This presentation will cover the current SOFIA technical capabilities and will present a few recent science highlights that demonstrate the SOFIA/AKARI complementarity. The presentation will also cover the SOFIA proposal process and will summarize other partnership opportunities for additional observing time on SOFIA., 形態: カラー図版あり, Physical characteristics: Original contains color illustrations, 資料番号: AA1730026004, レポート番号: JAXA-SP-17-009E}, pages = {31--40}, publisher = {宇宙航空研究開発機構(JAXA), Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)}, title = {The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA) - Current Status, Recent Results, Future Plans, and Synergies with the AKARI Archive}, volume = {JAXA-SP-17-009E}, year = {2018} }
