Description: This project supports five U.S. astronomers to attend a workshop on astronomical instrumentation to be held December 10-13, 1989, at the Inter-University Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) in Pune, India. The Indian organizer is Dr. Jayant Narlikar, Director of the IUCAA. The workshop is aimed at crystallizing a viable instrumentation program which would be carried out by the IUCAA in collaboration with the various research groups in Indian universities and institutions. Among the activities to be considered are: focal plane instrumentation for optical, IR, and UV telescopes; payload for space missions; image processing; and fabrication of detectors and interferometers. The instrumentation program would enable the IUCAA and scientists from Indian universities to use the extensive facilities for research in astronomy in India, including optical, solar, infrared, millemeter-wave, radio, and space astronomy. It is hoped that the result will also enable Indian astronomers to work with similar facilities in the U.S. and other countries, and to participate in some of the major gravity wave detector programs. Scope: Although India has a strong record of scientific research in astronomy, the recent establishment of the IUCAA represents a major effort by India to accelerate the state of astronomy and astrophysics research to levels attained by more advanced countries. This will enable Indian scientists to interact and collaborate more effectively with scientists from these countries. The results of the workshop would further these objectives and greatly increase the potential for Indo-U.S. collaboration in astronomy. The U.S. P.I. and the Indian counterpart are world renowned in the field and are most capable of conducting the workshop.

描述：该项目支持五名美国天文学家参加将于 1989 年 12 月 10 日至 13 日在印度浦那大学间天文学和天体物理学中心 (IUCAA) 举行的天文仪器研讨会。 印度组织者是 IUCAA 主任 Jayant Narlikar 博士。 该研讨会旨在明确一个可行的仪器项目，该项目将由 IUCAA 与印度大学和机构的各个研究小组合作开展。 需要考虑的活动包括：光学、红外和紫外望远镜的焦平面仪器；太空任务的有效载荷； 图像处理；以及探测器和干涉仪的制造。 该仪器项目将使 IUCAA 和印度大学的科学家能够利用印度广泛的天文学研究设施，包括光学、太阳能、红外、毫米波、无线电和空间天文学。 希望这一结果也将使印度天文学家能够与美国和其他国家的类似设施合作，并参与一些主要的重力波探测器项目。 范围：尽管印度在天文学科学研究方面拥有良好的记录，但最近成立的 IUCAA 代表了印度为加快天文学和天体物理学研究水平达到更先进国家所达到的水平而做出的重大努力。 这将使印度科学家能够与这些国家的科学家更有效地互动和合作。 研讨会的结果将进一步推进这些目标，并大大增加印美关系的潜力。天文学方面的合作。 美国私家侦探印度同行在该领域享有世界声誉，最有能力举办研讨会。
