Subaru Users Meeting FY2025
October 29 - 31, 2025 JST
Large Seminar Room, Mitaka Campus, National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ)
Purpose
Thanks to the long-term efforts of the Subaru community and international collaborations, the Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) has begun science operations this spring, and a large amount of exciting observational data is now being delivered. For further success of the Subaru Telescope, we also need to promote the development of the ULTIMATE-Subaru, accelerate the synergistic observation with LSST and Roman, and innovate the observational technology via PI-type instruments development. As the situation surrounding Subaru changes dynamically every year, the annual Subaru Users Meeting is a vital opportunity for community members to gather, share the latest scientific results, understand the future outlook, and explore ways to collaborate. It is also an important opportunity for the observatory to receive feedback from the community, and to sophisticate the observatory's strategy toward the future, "Subaru 3". We encourage everyone in the Subaru community to participate in this users meeting, and join intensive, exciting discussions on various topics around the Subaru Telescope.
