摘要
Our current understanding of cosmology is largely shaped by Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), the detonations of carbon-oxygen white dwarves (WDs). SNe Ia are powerful standard candles due to their uniform peak luminosities which decay predictably. SNe Ia progenitor system architecture is highly debated, as none have been observed pre- and post-detonation. Within the first few days after detonation, critical progenitor signatures are preserved in the ultraviolet (UV) bandpass. We present the optical design of UVIa, a proposed 12U CubeSat capable of simultaneous measurements in the far-UV, near-UV, and u-band. Double-offset Cassegrain telescopes were designed to image onto CMOS detectors. We discuss the benefits a nd c hallenges a ssociated with double-offset t elescopes. UVIa additionally s erves as a t echnology demonstration platform f or several c utting-edge UV technologies. The optical design of UVIa enables early-time observations of SNe Ia and serves as a pathfinder for future UV transient telescopes.
