Description

Rationale

The Italian community is heavily involved in a number of high-profile instrumental projects aimed at building multi-object spectrographs for optical and near-IR telescopes from 4 to 40m. These projects are the natural follow-up of a long standing tradition of observational programs that have used similar instruments over the last decades. These new projects are supported by large investments for the design and construction, and will yield significant amount of telescope time and/or massive amount of data available to the Italian community as a whole. Needless to say, these projects are not built in isolation but are part of a global landscape that will also be discussed at the meeting.

 

Goals of the workshop

The ultimate goals of the workshop is to maximise the scientific return and the involvement of Italian scientists in these projects. In particular, the workshop is a chance to:

- inform the community about the status and the scientific plans of the various projects;

- give the whole community an opportunity to present science cases and develop collaborations, within but also beyond the framework of the available Granted Time;

- discuss the possible synergies and overlaps in the development of tools for data analysis and scientific exploitation.

 

Format

The workshop will be organized across two full days, and will be organized in four sessions.  A preliminary scheme of the program is attached. In addition to invited talks concerning the main ongoing programs and instrumental projects, time is available for contributed talks to present main results from ongoing โ€œlargeโ€ programs with existing MOS or science cases for future instruments, with a particular emphasis to projects exploiting the GTO that will be available to the Italian community. The deadline for the submission of contributed talks is November 9.

Space is also foreseen for open discussions.

 

Registration

The deadline for registration is November 16. The deadline is strict due to organisational constraints, so we invite all interested participants to register in due time.
