Abstract
ULTIMATE-Subaru is a next large facility instrument program at Subaru telescope, which will develop 14 x14 arcmin2 wide-field near-infrared imager and multi-object spectrograph with the aid of ground-layer adaptive optics system (GLAO) at the Cassegrain and Nasmyth foci of the telescope in mid 2020s. Our preliminary performance simulation indicates that the GLAO system at Subaru telescope can provide uniform seeing improvement down to FWHM~0.2 arcsec in K band under moderate seeing condition across the field of view up to 20 arcmin in diameter. The main science case of the ULTIMATE-Subaru is a complete census of galaxy evolution from cosmic dawn (z>8) to cosmic noon (z=1-3) with ultradeep, wide-field narrow-band imaging and multi-object spectroscopies of a statistical sample of galaxies especially in K band.

| Other | The fifth Adaptive Optics for Extremely Large Telescopes (AO4ELT5) meeting will be taking place in June 2017 at the Hotel Botánico in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife. One of the major challenges that face the future extremely large aperture telescopes (ELT's) is adaptive optics, and the goal of the meeting is to gather specialists to review and discuss the latest developments on this field. The topics of the conference include ELT’s current design in terms of AO systems, related instruments and science goals, and also pathfinder projects planned or implemented on existing telescopes, including solar telescopes, which provide relevant results for the next ELT’s design phase. Special attention will be given to new developments in several areas, such as mirrors, laser technologies, wavefront sensing and control, and new post-processing tools required to increase the image quality and increase the scientific return of the instruments. |
