An upcoming conference for Proper Astronomers:
"High Angular Resolution Science with Next-Generation Optical-Infrared Capabilities at ESO", 1st-4th September at @esoastronomy HQ in Garching, Germany.
https://www.eso.org/sci/meetings/2026/MAVIS2026.html
The aim is to explore the science that will be made possible by the MAVIS instrument on the Very Large Telescope and the various instruments of the Extremely Large Telescope (e.g. MICADO, HARMONI, MORFEO) when they come online in the 2030's.
Abstract submission is now open, and the deadline is 15th May.

Adaptive Optics is a technique to compensate quickly varying optical aberrations in an #optical system 🔭. A limitation is that the correction is only valid in a very small patch of sky 🌌. Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics, or #MCAO uses several guide stars ✨ to measure the light wave aberrations in several directions. The corrected field of view is enlarged by a factor of 10 to 20 to obtain the most uniform output image quality https://mavis-ao.org/mavis/

#MAVIS corrects distortions caused by the Earth's atmosphere. Components:
• Adaptive Optics System
corrects distortions using mirrors that can change shape in real time to compensate for atmospheric blurring• Imaging Camera
captures high-resolution images of celestial objects with sensors to record light from stars, galaxies• Spectrograph
splits light into its component colors (spectrum) to reveal temperature, distance, chemical makeuphttps://www.hq.eso.org/sci/facilities/develop/instruments/MAVIS.html

Amongst the many projects supported by AAL is the MAVIS instrument, as explained in this recent blog post: https://astronomyaustralia.org.au/blog/news/mavis-a-bold-leap-in-australian-led-astronomy-and-adaptive-optics/
That's me on the left in the photo in the post.

It's time to plan my travel to lovely* Garching bei München for the MAVIS Final Design Review meetings next month.
I am a *big* fan of these Emirates/Qantas flights from Sydney to Munich that arrive in the evening. When you get off the plane you can go directly from the airport to your hotel, check in immediately, and fall straight into bed. This is so, so much better than almost all other flights from Australia to Europe which arrive early in the morning so you can't even check into your hotel until many hours later, and you're struggling to stay awake until evening in an attempt to avoid making your jetlag worse.
OK, you do have to get up at stupid o'clock in the morning to get the 6 am flight out of Sydney, but it's definitely worth it. I got these flights last time I travelled to @esoastronomy HQ for the MAVIS Preliminary Design Review and the evening arrival made for a really quick recovery from the journey with minimal jetlag.

In the end we submitted a total of 5625 pages of MAVIS Final Design Review documentation spread across 172 documents. Now we wait for the Jira tickets to start coming in...
-
We're now up to 5149 pages of MAVIS instrument Final Design Review documentation, and there are still a few documents to go. In total we'll be sending 163 documents to @esoastronomy for review. MAVIS is a complex thing, as the latest CAD renders make evident, so a complete description requires a lot of documents.

Actually this may be my favourite photo of the @esoastronomy VLT lasers. It's not the most spectacular shot of the laser, the telescope, or the night sky, but it's special because it has *me* in it (far left), along with my MAVIS project colleagues.

@esoastronomy's 2024 Annual Report is now out. Nice to see not just one but three projects with AAO involvement mentioned, 4MOST, MAVIS & BlueMUSE. There's a few gorgeous photos in there too.

Giving our colleagues at @esoastronomy a little light reading, just in time for their August holiday season: we (the MAVIS consortium) have just uploaded 4419 pages of documentation for the MAVIS instrument Final Design Review. That's only 114 of the required 141 deliverable documents, so there's still some more to come over the coming days.
The reviewers at ESO will go over all of this, creating, probably, hundreds of Jira tickets asking for clarifications, additional information, or changes. Once we've had a chance to respond to and close as many of those tickets as possible we'll have the formal Final Design Review itself, a 3 day meeting in mid-October to address remaining issues and assess the readiness of the design as a whole.

Current status: repeatedly using the phrase "laser doughnuts" entirely seriously in an earnest work Slack conversation.
It's making me want to eat a doughnut.

Wide field adaptive optics has been being worked on for a long time, and there have been a number of demonstrator instruments, but there are currently not many facilities in operation. There are, however, a lot more in development.
As an aside, astronomers are terrible at naming things. Look at all those tortured acronyms.
-
Learning about this adaptive optics stuff from expert (and MAVIS PI) Francois Rigaut.

I may be slightly obsessed with the astronomy tower.
The work is over now, I have free time until heading for home tomorrow lunchtime.

A busy day working on MAVIS today, but having lunch in the shadow of La Specola is nice.

Heading off to Padova for the MAVIS MAIT workshop. Naturally I am beginning my trip from Australia to Italy by having a beer from Japan.

#Aries #Zodiac #woodentrain project is done! I like how it turned out 💜
I used a couple of the finger-pulls on the seals of my non-dairy creamer bottles for the horns. I formed the curls by soaking in HOT water & then QUICKLY curling & clamping & running under cold water 😁🔥💦😁
On the back: shout out to the #Mavis train from #thomasandfriends & "diamond" heart for #April #birthstone 🤍
