This workshop will bring together experts in cosmology, galaxy
evolution, massive stars, ISM and extra-solar planets with the
designers of future observational facilities, with special
emphasis on wide field and multi-fiber spectrophotometry on
the pathway to the 6.5m TWIN telescopes in SPM.
It is an ideal occasion for colleagues from the Institutions
with interest in the TWIN project to meet and discuss about the main driver
i.e. the science, the telescopes and the instrumentation necessary
to achieve the scientific goals. Other topics of interest are the relation
between the TWIN telescopes and the large facilities to which Mexican
astronomers have or may have access, LMT/GTM,GTC,VLA,LDSS

Workshop Aims:
To produce a substantial advance in:
- The main scientific aims
- The design of the telescopes
- The instrumentation
- The software
- And the sinergy of the TWIN telescopes with other large facilities.
To this end the organizers are inviting participants from each of the
Institutions that either have signed the agreement or have shown interest
in participate in the project, plus up to 10 participants with expertize
in other large facilities such as GTC,LMT/GTM,VLA,LDSS,Magellan,etc, and
colleagues from other Mexican institutions.
Organization of the Workshop
It will be in working groups each one with a leader. The proposed
working groups are:
| Science: |
- The study of the evolution of nearby galaxies from high resolution
3D spectrophotometry
- Deep and wide redshift surveys
- Searches of extra-solar planets
|
| Instrumentation: |
- Multiple Integral Field Units systems
- Individual fiber systems
- Medium dispersion (R~4000) spectrograph covering from 350nm to 1800nm
- High dispersion (R>10000) high stability (1m/s) spectrographs
- AO
- Wide field telescope
- Normal field telescope
|
| Software: |
- Telescope and Instrument control
- Data menagement, pipe-line reduction and archiving
|
The leaders will be selected from the final list of participants.
One of the aims of the groups will be to provide
a short document describing the discussions, conclusions and
recommendations of each group.
When choosing the dates for your travel please notice that the
first week of the workshop will focus on TWIN project issues
while the other two weeks will concentrate more on science and
instrumentation topics.
