论文摘要
拟议中的我们非常大的望远镜（ELT）计划将确保全国性的开放访问权限，至少有25％的北部30米望远镜观察时间和南部的巨型麦哲伦望远镜。 ELT将通过出色的角度分辨率，灵敏度和先进的仪器来推进太阳系科学。 ELT的贡献将包括对星际物体，巨型行星系统和海洋世界的研究，通过小行星和Kuiper带中的小物体追踪的太阳系的形成以及行星任务的积极支持。我们建议（1）美国ELT计划被列为太阳系科学的关键基础架构，（2）提供NASA的一些支持以确保任务支持能力，并且（3）美国ELT计划扩展了太阳系社区社区参与发展，计划和运营的参与。
The proposed US Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) Program would secure national open access to at least 25% of the observing time on the Thirty Meter Telescope in the north and the Giant Magellan Telescope in the south. ELTs would advance solar system science via exceptional angular resolution, sensitivity, and advanced instrumentation. ELT contributions would include the study of interstellar objects, giant planet systems and ocean worlds, the formation of the solar system traced through small objects in the asteroid and Kuiper belts, and the active support of planetary missions. We recommend that (1) the US ELT Program be listed as critical infrastructure for solar system science, that (2) some support from NASA be provided to ensure mission support capabilities, and that (3) the US ELT Program expand solar-system community participation in development, planning, and operations.
