2.1. Tsarin Hasken Proxima b

An ƙididdige tsarin hasken Proxima b ta amfani da ƙirar Exoplanet Analytic Reflected Lightcurves (EARL) (Haggard & Cowan, 2018). Muhimman ma'auni na duniyar sun haɗa da radius na kusan radius 1.3 na Duniya, lokacin kewayawa na kwanaki 11, babban axis na kusan 0.05 AU, da kuma albedo na kusan 0.1 (kwatankwacin wata). An ƙiyasta karkatar da kewayawa bisa bayanai daga duniyar waje Proxima c.

Ƙirar ta yi la'akari da yanayi biyu na hasken wucin gadi:

1. Bakan irin na LED: Yana kwaikwayon fitowar bakan haske na gama gari na LED na Duniya.
2. Bakan ƙunƙuntaccen bakan: Wata hasashe, ƙunƙuntacciyar ƙungiyar fitarwa mai ɗauke da irin wannan ƙarfin gabaɗaya kamar yadda ake samun hasken wucin gadi a duniya a halin yanzu.

2.2. Nazarin Kuskure & Simintin JWST

An yi lissafin Sigina-zuwa-amo (SNR) ta amfani da Kalkuleta na Lokacin Bayyanar JWST (ETC), musamman don kayan aikin NIRSpec. Nazarin ya ɗauka cewa daidaitaccen ƙayyadaddun photon don kafa ƙa'idodin gano tushe a ƙarƙashin mafi kyawun yanayin lura.

Mahimman binciken ƙididdiga na binciken sune:

Wadannan hasashe sun dogara ne akan kayan aikin NIRSpec suna aiki a ƙayyadaddun iyakar amo na photon.

4. Tattaunawa & Tasiri

Sakamakon ya nuna cewa JWST yana kan gefen yiwuwar irin wannan binciken alamar fasaha. Gano wayewar kai kamar ta Duniya, mai haske sosai yana da wahala sosai tare da fasahar yanzu. Duk da haka, binciken ya nuna cewa wayewar da ke amfani da haske mai inganci sosai na bakan (ƙunƙuntaccen bakan sosai) ko wanda ya fi yawan amfani da makamashi (yana amfani da >5% na ƙarfin tauraro don haske) zai iya kasancewa cikin iyawar JWST. Manyan gidajen lura na gaba kamar LUVOIR, tare da manyan buɗaɗɗen buɗaɗɗen ido da manyan na'urori, zasu inganta waɗannan fata sosai.

5. Fahimtar Asali & Ra'ayi na Mai Bincike

Fahimtar Asali: Wannan takarda ba game da nemo fitilun birane ba ne; nazari ne mai ban sha'awa na yiwuwar da ke ƙididdige babban tazara tsakanin burinmu na kimiyya da kuma iyawar fasahar mu a halin yanzu a cikin neman hankali na waje (SETI). Yana sake tsara tunanin "Dutsen Dyson" zuwa matakin "shingen birni" kuma ya sami ko da hakan ya zama ƙalubale mai ban mamaki.

Tsarin Ma'ana: Marubutan sun fara da wani abu mai ƙarfafawa (duniya da aka kulle da igiyar ruwa tana buƙatar hasken wucin gadi) kuma a hankali sun rushe yadda ake iya gani. Sun gano daidai JWST a matsayin mafi kyawun kayan aiki na ɗan gajeren lokaci kuma suna amfani da ETC ɗinsa da aka bayar ga jama'a don kafa simintinsu a gaskiya, ba hasashe ba. Hanyar yanayi biyu (faɗaɗɗen LED vs. ƙunƙuntaccen bakan) da wayo ya rufe matsalar tsakanin fasaha mai yuwuwa da inganci da ake buƙata don ganowa.

Ƙarfi & Aibobi: Ƙarfinsa shine ƙaƙƙarfan ƙididdigensa da amfani da kayan aikin kayan aiki na hukuma, yana mai da shi ma'auni mai mahimmanci. Duk da haka, yana da babban aibi: aikin ƙidaya photon ne kawai. Ya yi watsi da yuwuwar lalata amo na tsari daga tauraron mai masaukin baki, Proxima Centauri, wanda shine tauraro mai ƙyalli. Kamar yadda binciken gurɓataccen tauraro a cikin yanayin duniyar waje ya nuna (misali, Rackham et al., 2018, AJ), ayyukan tauraro na iya haifar da alamun amo masu canzawa masu girma fiye da sigina na duniyar, wani abu da wannan bincike ya yi watsi da shi. Bugu da ƙari, yana ɗaukan mafi kyawun aikin kayan aiki - mafi kyawun yanayi wanda sau da yawa ba a cimma shi ba a cikin hadaddun ayyukan sararin samaniya.

Fahimtar Aiki: Ga masu ba da kuɗin SETI da masu bincike, wannan takarda ruwan sanyi ne wanda ya kamata ya karkatar da ƙoƙari. Maimakon fatan samun gano JWST mai sa'a, ya kamata a mai da hankali zuwa: 1) Daidaita Kayan Aiki: Tura NIRSpec da kayan aikin gaba zuwa iyakokin amo na photon. 2) Ƙirar Ci gaba: Haɗa ƙirar amo na tauraro na gaske daga sanannun zagayowar ƙyalli na Proxima Centauri. 3) Madadin Alamomi: Ba da fifiko ga neman alamun fasaha na yanayi (misali, iskar gas na wucin gadi kamar CFCs), waɗanda zasu iya ba da layukan bakan mafi ƙarfi, kamar yadda bincike daga cibiyoyi kamar Cibiyar Kimiyyar Sararin Samaniya ta Blue Marble ya nuna.

6. Cikakkun Bayanai na Fasaha & Tsarin Lissafi

Ginshiƙin ƙirar tsarin haske yana amfani da ma'auni na flux na tsarin EARL don albedo iri ɗaya (spherical harmonic $Y_0^0$):

$$F_0^0 = \frac{1}{3\pi^{3/2}} (\sin w - w \cos w)$$
