Point designs |
Objectives: produce point designs for 3 instruments.
Tasks: Pursue 3 conceptual designs to establish
full scientific potential and implications for Telescope
design. Candidates are:
- WFSPEC (Wide-Field seeing-limited or ground-layer-corrected
Optical/NIR Spectrometer)
- MOMSI (Multi-Object and Multi-field Spectrometer and
Imager for operation with MCAO in the NIR/optical)
- MIDIR (Mid-IR spectrometer and imager). |

Other designs |
Objectives: produce instruments conceptual designs.
Tasks: Phase A studies of 8 instrument concepts
to understand telescope design impacts & scientific
relevance, and provide broader perspective on ELT instrumentation
requirements. Also, investigation of innovative concepts |
| 11300 |
Atmospheric dispersion compensation |
Initial study of atmospheric dispersion and its compensation
carried out to feedback to the other Phase A studies. |
