Wide-field Adaptive Optics 

for Astronomy and Astrophysics

March 24 - 28, 2025

National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, Mitaka 

This workshop is supported by Australia-Japan Foundation of Australian Government, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade; "ULTIMATE - Australia-Japan collaboration for a brighter future at Subaru Telescope "

Next generation wide-field adaptive optics systems with multiple laser guide stars will open a new parameter space in the astronomy with ground-based large telescopes. This workshop is to foster collaboration between international AO projects and research through common technical interests, emphasizing opportunities around the Ground-Layer Adaptive Optics (GLAO) project on the Subaru telescope, ULTIMATE-Subaru. Key instrument science and technology areas are covered in the sessions. Each session will consist of an invited introductory review, ULTIMATE-Subaru development talk in the field, and forefront research presentations, followed by group discussions. We invite contributed presentations on 1) technical development related to adaptive optics systems, and 2) science cases with wide-field high-resolution observations. The abstract submission form and further information can be found below.
