CSFK CSI SZEMINÁRIUM / KONKOLY OBSERVATORY SEMINAR

Date: Mar 06 (Thursday) 14:00


Fatemeh Zahra Majidi (Blue Skies Space; London, United Kingdom):
Mauve: a three-year UV-Vis survey dedicated to monitor stellar activity and 
variability

Mauve is a satellite equipped with a 13-cm telescope and a UV-Visible 
spectrometer (with an operative wavelength range of 200-700 nm) conceived to 
measure the stellar magnetic activity and variability. The science program 
will be delivered via a multi-year collaborative survey program, with 
thousands of hours each year available for long baseline observations of 
hundreds of stars, unlocking a significant time domain astronomy opportunity. 
Mauve’s mission lifetime is 3 years with the ambition of 5 years, and will 
cover a broad field of regard (–46.4 to 31.8 degrees in ICRS) during this 
period. Booked to launch on October 2025, Mauve’s science team will form 
prior to the launch date, defining the observation strategy and targets. This 
facility was conceived to support pilot studies and new ideas in science and 
is fully dedicated to time-domain astronomy. The main surveys to be executed 
by Mauve are long baseline observations of Flare Stars (eruptive Wolf–Rayet 
stars, UV Ceti st
 ars, etc.), RS CVn variables, Eclipsing Binaries, Herbig Ae/Be stars, 
Exoplanet hosts, Hot Stars, etc. Besides these major science themes, the 
spectrometer’s data can be utilized to support and complement existing and 
upcoming facilities as a pathfinder, or conduct simultaneous/follow-up 
observations.
