As camera and spectrograph for the mid-infrared wavelength range, it will yield astronomical data with an unprecedented richness of detail. The prime science case, which drives the instrument's specification, is the observation of dust disks around young stars and of those ones hosting exo-planets. But also in other fields, METIS will provide ground-breaking results. [[BR]][[BR]]MPIA is the second largest contributor in the METIS consortium, which is led by NOVA in the Netherlands. We are responsible for the two imaging cameras and the wavefront sensor. The ambitious schedule aims for a delivery of the instrument to ESO in the year 2025.[[BR]][[BR]] After the PI, Bernhard Brandl, gave a first overview exactly one year ago in the !AstroTechTalk, Markus Feldt will focus today a bit more on planets and disks and even stronger on the MPIA work packages and the currently running manpower discussions.[[BR]][[BR]]Presentation: German [[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/AlteVortraege2016S1/2016-06-10_METIS_Update.pdf Slides: English][[BR]]Questions: German, English || |
