Abstract

The Mid-Infrared Spectrometer (Camera) transit spectrometer (MISC-T) is one of the baseline instruments studied for the Origins Space Telescope. MISC-T employs a novel densified pupil optical design and achieves exquisite stability and precision (<5ppm in 2.8—11μm, <20ppm in 11—20μm). It provides the Origins with the capability to assess the habitability of nearby exoplanets and search for signs of life. An additional MISC Wide Field Imager (MISC-WFI) is studied as an upsope option for the Origins. MISC-WFI offers an imaging and low-resolution spectroscopic capability for 5—28μm. The MISC WFI also serves as the focal plane pointing and guiding for the observatory.
