Key Published Papers
SIM Bibliography
The following bibliography lists a number of papers, most recent first, in astronomical and technical journals relating to SIM. The lists are sorted according to broad areas of SIM science and technology. The last group is a list of published abstracts of presentations at meetings, grouped by subject as the paper list is. Items of particular interest in all the lists are in bold font.
For a detailed discussion of the science, read Unwin & Shao et al., 2008. Note that SIM 'Lite' is a simpler, lower-cost option under study by the SIM team. It retains the full breadth of science envisioned by two prior NRC Astrophysics Decadal Surveys. These and other useful, and sometimes lengthier, summaries will be found in SIM Science & Technology: Broad Overviews.
The list of Recent Papers includes links to papers published in the last few months.
