[ASA] Wide-field Adaptive Optics for Astronomy and Astrophysics Workshop: March 24-28 2025

[Tayyaba Zafar]

Dear all,

We will hold a workshop “Wide-field Adaptive Optics for Astronomy and Astrophysics” Mar.24-28, 2025 in Mitaka headquarter of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan in Tokyo. We invite contributed presentations on 1) technical development related to adaptive optics systems, and 2) science cases with wide-field high-resolution observations. The abstract submission form and further information can be found below or on the workshop website - https://url.au.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/ke0PCZY1NqioEOR6qTzfPSB9G6l?domain=sites.google.com

Next generation wide-field adaptive optics systems with multiple laser guide stars will open a new parameter space in astronomy with ground-based large telescopes. This workshop is to foster collaboration between international AO projects and research through common technical interests, emphasizing opportunities around the Ground-Layer Adaptive Optics (GLAO) project on the Subaru telescope, ULTIMATE-Subaru. Key instrument science and technology areas are covered in the sessions, including atmospheric turbulence measurements.
