Yet, to take full benefit of the collecting power, resolution (and sensitivity) of these huge machines, adaptive optics systems are key and are poised to become mainstream. They are to assist 100% of the observations, for ELTs are too large to operate as conventional seeing-limited telescopes. [[BR]] [[BR]]Carlos Correia will provide an overview of current developments on novel wave-front sensing techniques using natural and laser guide stars, advanced wave-front reconstruction for the different AO modes and the challenges faced when customising AO post-processing in order to meet stringent science goals. Furthermore, he will show how these developments are propelling the design of HARMONI, the European Extremely Large Telescope's 1st light IFU.[[BR]][[BR]]Presentation: English[[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/AlteVortraege2019S1/2019-01-11_EALT.pdf Slides: English][[BR]]Questions: German, English || || 18.01.2019 || || || || '''25.01.2019'''[[BR]]'''(11hrs, MPIA Hoersaal)''' || '''Martin Kürster''' || '''Double Feature:[[BR]](1) Introduction of project NTE[[BR]](2) CARMENES finds Super Earth at Barnard's Star - after all'''[[BR]][[BR]]Abstract[[BR]][[BR]]Presentation: German[[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/AlteVortraege2019S1/2019-01-25_NTEBarnard.pdf Slides: English][[BR]]Questions: German, English || || 01.02.2019 || || || || 08.02.2019 || || || || 15.02.2019 || Vianak Naranjo || Status Update: construction work in MPIA basement || || 22.02.2019 || || || || 01.03.2019 || || || || 08.03.2019 || || || || 15.03.2019 || || || || 22.03.2019 || || || || 29.03.2019 || || || || 05.04.2019 || || || || 12.04.2019 || || || || 19.04.2019 || -- || Good Friday || || 26.04.2019 || -- || Easter Break || '''Preview:''' xx.02.2019 - Noah Schwarz (ATC): ELT instruments '''Postview:''' [wiki:OldPresentations2014S2 Presentations from 12.09. - 31.12.2014] [wiki:OldPresentations2015S1 Presentations from 01.01. - 31.07.2015] [wiki:OldPresentations2015S2 Presentations from 01.08. - 31.12.2015] [wiki:OldPresentations2016S1 Presentations from 01.01. - 31.07.2016] [wiki:OldPresentations2016S2 Presentations from 01.08. - 31.12.2016] [wiki:OldPresentations2017S1 Presentations from 01.01. - 31.07.2017] [wiki:OldPresentations2017S2 Presentations from 01.08. - 31.12.2017] [wiki:OldPresentations2018S1 Presentations from 01.01. - 31.07.2018] [wiki:OldPresentations2018S2 Presentations from 01.08. - 31.12.2018] [wiki:OldPresentations2019S1 Presentations 2019S1]
