Astronomy & Astrophysics Seminar: LAST, MAST, and larger telescopes

Abstract:

I will review the Large Array Survey Telescope (LAST), a 48-telescope array based on off-the-shelf components, its classification, and follow-up (unidentical) twin - the Multi-Aperture Spectroscopic Telescope (MAST), as well as the upcoming Son-of-XShooter spectrograph for the NTT and G-CLEF coupling to the Magellan telescope. We will review the design and merits of each system and focus on unique capabilities for specific science cases such as the detection of SNe shock breakout, and the search of planetary systems, pollution, and RV measurements of White Dwarfs.

Seminar Organizer: Dr. Jonathan Stern
