Although equipped with high-level instrumentation, it is currently used very rarely. This should change with the opportunity to operate it completely remote via the internet. [[BR]][[BR]]This presentation shows the general requirements and operating principles of a remote telescope, demonstrates the current status of the modifications to the 50cm telescope and its dome, and gives an overview of future opportunities to use it.[[BR]][[BR]]Presentation: German[[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/AlteVortraege2017S1/2017-05-05_Remotisierung.pdf Slides: English][[BR]]Questions: German, English || 45 45 || '''12.05.2017[[BR]](10hrs, HdA)''' || '''Thomas Mueller''' || '''Visualization in Astronomy[[BR]]'''[[BR]]The aim of scientific visualization in general and visualization in astronomy in particular is to graphically illustrate scientific data to enable scientists to better understand and explore their data in detail, as well as to help presenting their work to the general public. [[BR]][[BR]] Astronomical data coming from observations and numerical simulations cover a large range of different data types, dimensionality, and complexity, and thus pose new challenges to visualization techniques and algorithms, in particular if the visualization is to be nearly interactive.[[BR]][[BR]] After a brief introduction to different kinds of data sets and how they can be visualized, Thomas Mueller will present several visualization projects with scientists from MPIA.[[BR]][[BR]]Presentation: German[[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/AlteVortraege2017S1/2017-05-12_Visualization.pdf Slides: English][[BR]]Questions: German, English || 46 || 19.05.2017[[BR]](10hrs, HdA) || Tobias Bretschi (AIRBUS APWORKS GmbH) || 3D Laser Sintering||46 || '''19.05.2017[[BR]](10hrs, HdA)''' || '''Tobias Bretschi (AIRBUS APWORKS GmbH)''' || '''Metal 3D Printing[[BR]][[BR]]'''In the upcoming !AstroTechTalk, the central topic will be ''additive manufacturing of metal materials'' (metal 3D printing). AIRBUS APWORKS, a 100% subsidiary of Airbus Defence & Space from Munich will present their competencies in this field of manufacturing and will explain the advantages and disadvantages of the SLM process (Selective Laser Melting) with the help of numerous parts - mainly from Aerospace projects. Additionally, typical metal materials for 3D printing will be presented, including the high strength aluminum alloy Scalmalloy®, which was specifically developed for additive manufacturing and which shows excellent properties for Aerospace applications (high yield strength, low CTE, …).[[BR]][[BR]]Information about the presenter:[[BR]]* Born in Heidelberg[[BR]] * Aerospace Engineering Studies at the University of Stuttgart and at Virginia Tech, USA[[BR]] * Dissertation at Airbus Group Innovations, the research centre of Airbus (supervised by TU Darmstadt)[[BR]] * Focal Point for all Aerospace customers at AIRBUS APWORKS[[BR]][[BR]]Presentation: German[[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/AlteVortraege2017S1/2017-05-19_3DDruck.pdf Slides: English][[BR]]Questions: German, English || 47 47 || 26.05.2017 || -- || Bridging day after Ascension Day || 48 48 || 02.06.2017 (10hrs, HdA) || Justus Zorn (MPIK) || CHEC-M - A Camera Prototype for the small-size telescopes of the Cherenkov-Telesope-Array (CTA) ||
