Luc Simard: Group Leader -Instrumentation
Luc Simard is an astronomer at the National Research Council of Canada's Herzberg Institute of Aerophysics. He ontained his B.Sc from Queen's University in 1990 and this Phd from the University of Victoria in 1996. From 1996 to 2002, he held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of California, Santa Cruz and the University of Arizona, Steward Observatory. He joined NRC-HIA in 2002.His research interests include galaxy formation and evolution, image processing and astrnomical instrumentation. He is currently Group Leader of TMT Science Instruments.
报告内容简介：
The Thirty-Meter Telescope international observatory will enable transformational observations over the full cosmic timeline all the way from the first luminous objects in the Universe to the planets and moons of our own solar system. To realize its full scientific potential, TMT will be equipped with a powerful suite of adaptive optics systems and science instruments. Three science instruments will be available at first light: an optical multi-object spectrometer, a near-infrared multi-slit spectrometer and a diffraction-limited near-infrared imager and integral field spectrometer. In addition to these three instruments, a diverse set of new instruments under study will bring additional workhorse capabilities to serve the science interests of a broad user community. The development of TMT instruments represents a large, long-term program that offers a wide range of opportunities to all TMT partners.
TMT简介:
The Thirty Meter Telescope(TMT) is a planned group-based large segmented mirror reflecting telescope, roposed to be built on Mauna Kea in Hawaii. The telescope is much larger than existing telescopes(though the planned European Extremely Large Telescope's mirror is 30% larger), and designed for obervation from the near-ultraviolet to the mid-infrared(0.31 to 28um wavelengths). |
