Future of Optical-Infrared Astronomy: Insights from the CAHA and ORM Workshop 2012

DESCRIPTION

The workshop held in Madrid on March 22-23, 2012, focused on shaping the future of optical-infrared astronomy at CAHA and ORM. Key topics included the redefinition of mid-size telescopes (2-4 m), the importance of user input for priority setting, and the need for new instrumentation for effective science. Discussions emphasized the balance between classical observing and survey work, as well as innovations like adaptive optics and data management. Stakeholders were encouraged to share their insights to influence the development of future observational strategies.

  1. Sciencewiththeoptical-infraredtelescopes at CAHA and ORM in thecomingdecadeCDTI, Madrid, 2012 March 22-23 RIA Workshop - Science with ORM and CAHA in the next decade

  2. Gracias … • SOC de esta reunión por apoyar la propuesta • RIA por aprobar y financiar la propuesta • Pilar Román, CDTI por su interés en tener a los astrónomos aquí A ESTHER CALLE POR SU PACIENCIA CON NOSOTROS

  3. Welcome • Mid-sizetelescopes (2-4 m) are goingthroughredefinitionoftheir role • Multi-facetedprocess • Funding Agencies… • Telescopedirectors… • Expertpanels… (eg ETSRC 2010) • National, internationalpriorities

  4. We need to hear from … YOU • Telescopes to continue only if users say/show they need them • Direct input from users on instrument priorities, modes of operation

  5. Instrumentation • What current instruments are most useful for your science • Is new instrumentation needed • Wide field vs high spatial resolution • Spectroscopy? Imaging? • Optical vs NIR • High vs mid spectral resolution

  6. Classical observing vs survey work • Now • WHT largely classical observing • CAHA 3.5m half-surveys • Case for increasing the fraction of time devoted to surveys • Case for retaining visitor mode

  7. Exoticmodes–dropthemtosave€€? • Polarimetry • UV imaging, spectroscopy • High time resolution • Highspatialresolution. Adaptiveoptics • Luckyimaging • Speckle

  8. Northern skyaccess–anopportunity? Muchglass in Spain! • Spain as leaderofnorthernhemisphereastronomy in Europe • Just how importantisthenorthernskytoyou?

  9. Data • Role ofobservatories in providing • Data reductionpipelines • Fullyreduced data • User-friendly archives

  10. Training needs • Role ofobservatories in training nextgenerationofastronomers

  11. We are here to hear … YOUR views As derived from your plans/aspirations Previous ING workshop with this topic • 2010 March, London • Today, centered on Spanish astronomy • Together with CAHA

  12. Sessions • InfrastructureSummaries • Sciencethemes • Newinstruments • Largeprogrammes • Observatoryoperations, time assignment • Discussion
