Performance

Scientific paper

We present results from simulations of the imaging mode of the Space Interferometry Mission (SIM). In particular, we derive the SIM performance for imaging zodiacal disks around solar-type stars. We find that: Zodiacal disks like the one in our solar systems can not be imaged with SIM in a reasonable amount of time; However, SIM can detect and image systems with at least 100 times the solar dust content at distances between 100 pc and several kpc in about 5 hrs, provided that the nulling efficiency lives up to expectations; SIM performs better if the system is more distant because of the fading of the central star; The maximum distance for disk detection depends only on the size of the disk.
