WAVEFRONT SENSING IN THE VLT/ELT ERA VIII - DURHAM, UNITED KINGDOM
Welcome to the Wavefront Sensing in the VLT/ELT era workshop. This is the 8th edition of the highly successful workshop, focusing on the methods and technology behind wavefront sensing for Extremely Large Telescopes.
This year the workshop is taking place in Durham University, Durham, United Kingdom.
Oral presentations will take place in the Department of Mathematical Sciences & Computer Science, while the poster session will take place in Ogden Centre West.
For more information on the venue, directions, and local accommodation information, please check the Venue tab on the left, or click here.
We expect to start the workshop at 1pm on Monday the 23rd September, with registration available earlier in the morning and tea / coffee will be available from 12-1pm. We will finish at lunchtime on Wednesday the 25th September. A poster session will occur in the afternoon / early evening on the 23rd, and the conference dinner in the evening on the 24th. Final program and timings will be available early September.
Submissions and registrations are now closed. Please check back in the coming days for the final programme.
Session Topics
By gathering a large range of experts in wavefront sensing and instrumentation, we hope to cover topics ranging from:
WFS needs for new applications (space debris, FSO comms, ...)
Readiness of WFSensing for space-borne observatories
Laboratory and on sky demonstration of new designs and concepts
We are willing to get contributions pertaining both to the announced and planned 3rd generation instruments for the existing 10m-class telescopes (VLT, Keck, Subaru, Gemini, …) and the next generation of Giant Segmented Mirror Telescopes (ELT, TMT, GMT). Bench experiments and pathfinders are particularly welcome.
