ULTIMATE-Subaru Science Workshop 2016

Date:  June 16-17 2016 (2-days)
Venue:  Large seminar room, Subaru building, NAOJ, Mitaka, Tokyo
Language: English
Website: http://www.naoj.org/Projects/newdev/ngao/201606_ULTIMATE_WS/index.html
--------------------------------------------------------------------

[Rationale]

ULTIMATE-Subaru (Ultra-wide Laser Tomographic Imager and MOS with AO 
for Transcendent Exploration) is a next-generation AO development project 
of the Subaru Telescope. Our plan is to have GLAO (ground-layer adaptive 
optics) system on Subaru, which can provide a significant seeing improvement 
(0.2-arcsec in K-band) over a wide field of view (15').

To enhance the GLAO capability, we also plan to build new wide-field 
NIR instrument(s) with international collaboration. Following Hyper 
Suprime-Cam (HSC) and Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS), both of which 
will be operated in "dark" nights of Subaru, the new IR instrument is 
expected to play a key role as a facility instrument (mainly for "bright" 
nights) of Subaru in 2020s. We currently have three possible plans for 
ULTIMATE instruments: wide-field imager, multi-object slit (MOS) 
spectrograph, and multi-object IFU instrument.

Since the launch of ULTIMATE-Subaru working group in 2011, we have been 
discussing science/technical cases for Subaru GLAO+NIR instruments. 
In January 2016, we completed the Study Report which summarizes our activity, 
science cases, technical studies performed so far, and we had an external 
review in February 2016. The Study Report is available on our website:

http://www.naoj.org/Projects/newdev/ngao/20160113/index.html

The motivation of this workshop is to bring up your great ideas on key 
science cases for ULTIMATE-Subaru from a wide variety of science fields, 
and to establish strong science team of ULTIMATE-Subaru. We hope all 
Japanese astronomers / Subaru community to join the workshop to share 
the current status of ULTIMATE-Subaru project, and to exchange ideas 
of strong science cases (and synergy with other facilities) to be made 
with Subaru in 2020s.
