by email.
September 26, Monday from 9:00am to 6:00pm
" Subaru New Instrument: HiCIAO PDR "
Subaru HiCIAO Team
HiCIAO is a new high contrast instrument for the Subaru telescope to be
used with a combination of the new 188 actuator adaptive optics (AO).
It can be regarded as a successor of the current coronagraph CIAO
and 36-actuator AO. HiCIAO is a near-infrared camera equipped with
sophisticated coronagraph and several simultaneous differential
imaging modes, which will greatly enhance the contrast capability
compared with the current instrument. The development consists of
NAOJ/Mitaka, Subaru, and University of Hawaii. The design of this
instrument is now in progress and we plan to have a two-half-day
PDR sometime in September. The site will be at the Subaru Hilo office
in Hawaii.
The aim of the PDR is to establish the science and design of
the Subaru/HiCIAO, and I would like to ask you to attend this
meeting, hoping to have your advice and recommendation for this
new instrument from either/both scientific or technical point of
view as experts in this science/techniques. Since the basic fund
for this instrument has been already secured via a Japanese MEXT
fund, this may not be a main issue in the PDR. In a short word,
I would like to ask your opinions/advices if our instrument design
is suitable for a high contrast science under some given fund.
