Current instrument status

Open of AO188

AO188 will be opened in S08B without the laser guide star system, combined with IRCS.

Decommission of AO36

AO36 will be decommissioned at the end of S08A.

CIAO operation without AO

In Semester S08A, CIAO will be a PI-type instrument. From S08B, CIAO will be operated without the adaptive optics function due to decommission of AO36. Before the proposal submission, the prospect users of CIAO are required to contact the instrument team (Dr. Motohide Tamura; hide_at_optik.mtk.nao.ac.jp).

General enquiries may be directed to Dr. Hiroshi Terada ().
