• Описание конференции:

  The 2012 symposium will again include Adaptive Optics (AO) as a systems level conference. Good progress in designing, deploying, and using astronomical AO systems has continued steadily since our last conference, and the growth in scientific publications is still accelerating. This conference will highlight the ongoing efforts to extend, refine and apply the range of capabilities that AO provides for astronomy. This includes current and future systems, better performance, and a wider range of applications. It includes work on AO systems, component technologies, lab and field tests, performance modeling, and the proper integration of AO capabilities into observing strategies and the observatory as a whole. The expected system-level advances during 2011-12 include the deployment of both high-contrast and wide-field AO on large telescopes, work on innovative capabilities for smaller telescopes, and continuing development of system designs for extremely large telescopes (ELTs). Many groups will have important new results to share, and the status of many projects will be well reported. This progress at the system level depends heavily upon the ongoing accomplishments in the areas of (i) performance modeling and optimization, (ii) lab and field tests of new concepts, and certainly (iii) technology development for wavefront correctors, wavefront sensors/detectors, real-time-control systems and algorithms, guide star lasers, and laser guide star facilities. All of these topics will be extensively reported at the conference, with a mix of invited survey talks and more specialized posters and presentations on the most recent developments in the state-of-the-art. However, the operational success AO also depends upon the proper integration of the AO system with the remainder of the observatory, particularly the telescope and science instrumentation. We will collaborate with these related conferences to better understand the issues involved, the recent successes and lessons, and the future plans for ever closer integration of AO systems into science instrumentation, particularly on ELTs. In counterpoint to the integration of observatory hardware, the conference will also report on the development of integrated observing strategies that increase the quantity and range of astronomical science accomplished using AO. This includes ‘quantitative astronomy’ such as high contrast imaging, precision astrometry, and photometry. We expect to see presentations on new results, and also concerning the instrument calibration, data reduction and atmospheric profiling methods that have made them possible. Papers are solicited in all areas of astronomical AO with emphasis on the areas described above. We will endeavor to provide the correct mix of invited talks, oral/poster talks, and panel discussions to cover each topic properly and still ensure a global view. This promises to be another stimulating AO conference, and we are looking forward to seeing you (and hearing from you) there.
