Preliminary Agenda
Workshop on Multi-Object Adaptive Optics

Do you have slides you would like to show?
Topics you would like to discuss?

Please send an email to Claire Max <max at ucolick.org>

__________________________________________________________

Remember that a workshop is a place to talk about what *really* happened, whereas conference presentations (as at SPIE?) tend to gloss over problems and challenges.

__________________________________________________________

1) SCIENCE:
MOAO Science Drivers for large telescopes
Prospective Science with Demonstrators
Science benefits from MOAO NGS (tip-tilt-focus) correction

2) MOAO SYSTEM DESIGNS:
Recent developments and changes since the last workshop

3) TECHNOLOGY:
MOAO key hardware components
MOAO tomography methods
Real-time controllers
Turbulence profiling for MOAO tomography
Design considerations for IR MOAO NGS (tip-tilt-focus) correction

4) CALIBRATION, USER TOOLS, AND OPERATIONS:
Calibration methods (e.g., Learn and Apply, Reverse Path Calibration)
How will we determine the PSF at every MOAO location?
Plans for user tools and data pipelines
Operations models
