The Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope: a place of exciting opportunities for today and tomorrow! 2011-02-22

  • Speaker : Dr Christian Veillet (Executive Director, Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope)
  • Date : 2011-02-22 16:00 ~ 17:00
  • Location :
Located on the summit ridge of Mauna Kea, the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) offers a suite of excellent instruments which benefit from the exceptional qualities of its site. With wide-field imaging cameras in the visible and near-infrared, a high-resolution spectro-polarimeter, and natural guide star adaptive optics capabilities, the current instrumentation and associated reduction pipelines allow CFHT to be one of the leading observatories of today’s astronomy. Queued service observing and remote operations make for very efficient operations leading to excellent data and exciting science. New instruments are in development to offer even more possibilities to its users’ base, which now reach beyond the three communities of its namesake to include Taiwan, Brazil, and recently China. CFHT is also preparing the redevelopment of its facility, studying the option of building an 8- to 10-m class telescope dedicated to wide-field multi-object spectroscopy. As exemplified by its many achievements, CFHT strongly believes in the virtue of joining forces to achieve much more than anyone would have achieved alone. This talk will give us a chance to interact and exchange ideas on a potential involvement of Korea in the current and future activities of the observatory.
