 || '''16.03.2018[[BR]](11hrs, MPIA Hoersaal)''' || '''Klaus Meisenheimer''' || '''MATISSE — its Way to "First Light" and Beyond [[BR]]'''[[BR]]MATISSE is the next MIR instrument for ESO's VLT Interferometer. Seven European institutes are cooperating in this project since 2011. After the integration of the Dutch "cold optics" in the cryostats at MPIA and the delivery to OCA Nice end of 2014, MATISSE made a rather laborious rise to its Preliminary Acceptance Europe (PAE) in September 2017. After the arrival on Paranal end of October the integration and commissioning went smoothly and culminated in the coherent 4-telescope-observation of Sirius on February 19th. [[BR]][[BR]]Klaus  Meisenheimer will explain functionality and major advantages of MATISSE and he will recapitulate the developements up to "First Light". An outlook will highlight the fascinating scientific possibilities for MPIA and its partners from 2019 on.

 || '''23.03.2018'''[[BR]]'''(10hrs, HdA)''' || '''Peter Bizenberger''' || '''The ELT METIS Imager'''[[BR]][[BR]]MPIA is involved in the METIS project for the ELT. Two main work  packages are under responsibility of our institute, the adaptive optics control and the imager. In this presentation, Peter Bizenberger introduces the imager: the functionality, the role within METIS, but also how we design, built  and test this part of the instrument. [[BR]][[BR]]Beside presenting the instrumental side, i.e. designing an instrument for the ELT, he will also highlight how this task is achieved within a European  consortium. Here also the managerial side is addressed.[[BR]][[BR]]Presentation: German[[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/AlteVortraege2018S1/2018-03-23_METISImager.pdf Slides: English][[BR]]Questions: German, English ||

How to get there, what you can do and what you are supposed to do, how it looks there and all around. Many pictures, but no instruments and no astronomy, only the day-to-day survival. [[BR]]Presented basically for those, who haven't made the experience yet, and to describe how a business trip to LBT typically looks like. And certainly for those, who know it and enjoyed it already.
