Product Description
This is the start of a long process to ultimately operate new advanced capabilities at Paranal that could keep up with the exploding need for large and complex astrophysical data sets. A modern instrument represents a very significant investment in cash, human resources and time. Such a meeting gives a precious yardstick to evaluate the competitiveness of 1st generation instruments and associated current and forthcoming proposals for 1st generation upgrades. This is also crucial to orient the large research and development effort that will provide he very foundation on which 2nd generation VLT instrumentation could be built. Finally, it represents a significant step towards defining the hopes and goals for the future Extremely Large Telescope to come. The first outcome of this meeting, already in progress, is outlined in the epilogue. |
