    JWST and the ELTs: an ideal combination

    Event Details:
    From: 13 Apr 2010  
    To: 16 Apr 2010  
    Address: ESO headquarters
    Garching
    Country: Germany
    More info: Link to event website

    This workshop aims at exploring the scientific synergies between JWST and the up-coming giant optical/infrared telescopes (GMT, TMT, E-ELT).

    The main goal of the workshop is to bring the JWST and ELT communities together, to identify the common science cases, and to outline instrumentation/upgrade priorities for the ELTs which would maximise the scientific return in key areas of scientific research requiring both facilities.

    The product of the workshop will be a report that will, on the one hand, present the common science cases in the (TBC) areas of:

    • fundamental physics, cosmology, and relics of the early Universe
    • galaxy and ISM evolution
    • star formation from re-ionisation to the present
    • solar systems near and far

    On the other hand, the report will identify cases where synergy and complementarity between JWST and the ELTs lead to clear instrument priorities and programme strategies for the ELTs.
