Abstract

Pegase is an answer to the CNES call for ideas for a scientific payload on its Formation Flying technological mission.  It proposes a Bracewell interferometer operating in the infrared (1.5 - 6 micro-m) and visible regimes.  It has small telescopes (40 cm)but a substantial baseline (25 to 500 m).  Its angular resolution reaches 1~milli-arcsecond at4 microns and 100 micro-arcsecond at 0.4 micro-m.  Its main scientific objectives are the spectroscopic study of weak companions including Pegasides (hot giant exoplanets) and brown dwarfs bounded to other stars, with the goal to determine the composition of the atmospheres of these objects as well as their internal structure. In the present paper, we present a general overview of the science goals and the preliminary design of the instrument, and eventually give an estimate of its expected performance.
