2014 Subaru Users Meeting

November 13, 2014

Date/time:

from January 13, 2015 (Tue), 10:00
to January 15, 2015 (Thu), 16:30 (JST)

Venue:

Large Seminar Room, Subaru Building., NAOJ Mitaka Campus, Tokyo, Japan

Host/Sponsor:

Subaru Advisory Committee, Subaru Telescope - NAOJ

Purpose:
This year is the 15th anniversary of Subaru Telescope, and the Subaru open-use has been in operation for nearly 14 years. Subaru has been continuously producing cutting-edge science thanks to its variety of unique instruments. Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) has started a Subaru Strategic Program (SSP) with an allocation of 300 nights over 5 yrs. The HSC-SSP is going to deliver overwhelmingly wide and yet deep imaging data, which will open new science windows in ever-growing various fields in astronomy. Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) will be built on top of Mauna Kea with the estimated first light to be seen in early 2020's. In order for Subaru Telescope to continue and enhance its great momentum in collaboration with TMT, the Subaru community must consider and discuss seriously the strategies for Subaru in the TMT Era, including the effective use of the telescope time and the development of future instruments. Collaborations among international observatories on Mauna Kea as well as neighbouring East Asian countries and beyond will become even more important. Under these circumstances, we encourage the Subaru community to gather at this Users' Meeting, to present their recent scientific results based on Subaru, and also to participate in the intensive discussions on the Subaru strategy of the decade. The whole meeting will be conducted in English this time.
