The planetary origins and evolution multispectral monochromator: POEMM

Abstract

POEMM is a 1.8-meter balloon-borne telescope under development as a NASA Astrophysics Pioneers Mission. Leveraging new VIPA spectrometer and absorber-coupled MKID technologies POEMM promises unprecedented sensitivity at high spectral resolving power in the far-IR. POEMM is optimized to study the evolution of protoplanetary disks into planetary systems through velocity resolving low-lying HD and water vapor rotational transitions, and the 63 μm [OI] line which tomographically reveals the distribution of disk mass, the thermochemistry of cool water vapor, and the energy balance within disks as a function of radial distance from the central star, with sub-AU precision. POEMM's grating spectrometer will measure the largely unexplored solid-state water ice emission features at 43, 47, and 62 μm, measuring ice mass. POEMM will be launched from McMurdo during the Austral summer of 2029-2030. This presentation provides an overview of science, technology, instrument design and mission profile.
