The workshop is intended mainly for introduction of the project to industrial and researcher partners within the Czech Republic. We will have some contributions from Geneva and Potsdam teams on UBV and RIZ spectrographs. However, we foresee as much time as needed for discussions.
At the end of the day, we should be able to formulate Czech contribution to ANDES and express our commitment.
Science with ELT ANDES
Chair: T. Jeřábková
The splinter aims at presenting the ANDES science consortium to interested Czech scientific community. In addition, presentations from selected
Czech scientists intending to use ANDES for their science are scheduled. During the splinter the ANDES consortium GTO and return to the Czech
scientific community will be presented.
ANDES will be the ELT's high-resolution (R ≈ 100,000) optical–NIR spectrograph, targeting biosignatures in exoplanet atmospheres, the first stars,
the stability of fundamental constants and the direct detection of cosmic acceleration. The splinter presents examples of ANDES-related science already
pursued in Czechia - exoplanets, Galactic archaeology, AGN, and stellar populations in nearby galaxies - and discusses which GTO science cases
Czech teams can realistically join.
Contributions: J. Žák (exoplanet atmospheres), Z. Prudil (Galactic archaeology), M. Zajaček (AGN), T. Jeřábková (stellar populations, IMF, abundances), TBA.
Czech contribution to ELT/ANDES (industry/instrumentation)
Chair: P. Pintr
Participants from ANDES: AIP/Uni Genevea
The splinter aims at bringing together potential Czech industry/science partners willing to contribute to the delivery of the ANDES subsystems
within the ubv RIZ spectrographs. The splinter agenda is as follows:
Presentation of the working packages for the Czech Republic - presenting ANDES team
Short presentation of industry/science partners, expression of interest from their side
Technical discussion, questions, wrap-up
