The Origins Space Telescope (Origins) traces our cosmic history, from the formation of the first galaxies and the rise of metals to the development of habitable worlds and present-day life. Origins does this through exquisite sensitivity to infrared radiation from ions, atoms, molecules, dust, water vapor and ice, and observations of extra-solar planetary atmospheres, protoplanetary disks, and large-area extragalactic fields. Origins operates in the wavelength range 2.8 to 588 microns and is 1000 times more sensitive than its predecessors due to its large, cold (4.5 K) telescope and advanced instruments. Origins was one of four large missions studied by the community with support from NASA and industry in preparation for the 2020 Decadal Survey in Astrophysics. This is the final study report.

  1. Measuring Interstellar Carbon Abundance via 158 um [CII] Absorption with SOFIA -- A Potential Detection, and Proof-of-Concept for Depletion Studies with Future Far-IR Facilities

    astro-ph.GA 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A SOFIA pilot reports a possible detection of Galactic 158 um [CII] absorption against the galaxy IC 342 and provides a catalog of 402 sightlines for future far-infrared telescopes.

  2. The Far-Infrared Enhanced Survey Spectrometer (FIRESS) for PRIMA: Approach and Estimated Performance

    astro-ph.IM 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    FIRESS is a four-band, R~100 grating spectrometer with kinetic inductance detectors and an add-on Fourier-transform module for PRIMA, targeting background-limited far-infrared spectroscopy from 24 to 235 microns.

  3. Isotopic composition of cometary water and the origin of Earth's oceans

    astro-ph.EP 2025-09 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    PRIMA's FIRESS/FTM spectrometer is predicted to measure D/H in bright comets in ~6 hours, enabling comet and meteorite isotope samples of comparable size for the first time.
