I will briefly present the unique capabilities of LN and then go on to describe the novel science these capabilities will enable; from probing the formation sites of stars, finding hitherto illusive intermediate mass black holes, and investigating the earliest epochs of formation of the most massive galaxies.[[BR]][[BR]]Presentation: English                  [[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/AlteVortraege2016S1/2016-04-01_Science_LN.pdf Slides: German][[BR]]Questions: English, German (will be translated) ||
 || '''08.04.2016''' || '''Sascha Douffet''' || '''Safety responsibles - Main actors and their tasks'''[[BR]][[BR]]The last talk about occupational safety gave an overview, covering history, structure, regulatory framework and tasks. Since the topic is very complex, important questions are still to be answered about the main actors and their tasks. [[BR]][[BR]]The following topics will be discussed in the second part: Who are the main actors? What means "responsibility" with respect to occupational safety? What are the main tasks? What may happen, if responsibilites are not assumed and tasks are not fulfilled? [[BR]][[BR]]Every employee should know, which functions and activities are implemented at MPIA. Not only every colleague should know who is responsible for occupational safety, also the responsible persons should know about their tasks, such that those become a practical reality in the day-to-day work. And hence, the risk for accidents is automatically reduced.

+|| '''15.04.2016''' || '''Alexander Sivitilli''' || '''Laser Alignment Teleskop[[BR]][[BR]]''' The Advanced Rayleigh guided Ground layer adaptive Optics System (ARGOS) is currently being commissioned at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). This AO set-up is unique in that it harnesses six artificial laser guide stars to correct wavefronts over a wide 4' x 4' field. Due to telescope flexure and maintenance, lasers can become misaligned from the wavefront sensors of ARGOS, requiring frequent manual realignment. In order to save time in both commissioning and operation of ARGOS, an automatic alignment of the lasers with the wavefront sensors is needed. [[BR]][[BR]]This presentation describes the construction and implementation of a Laser Alignment Telescope (LAT) to acquire images of the launched lasers in addition to the accompanying Smart Laser Alignment (SLA) algorithm that automatically identifies and aligns the lasers to their respective wavefront sensors at which point ARGOS takes control.[[BR]][[BR]]Presentation: English[[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/AlteVortraege2016S1/2016-04-01_LAT.pdf Slides: German][[BR]]Questions: English, German ||
