This award supports a two-year research collaboration between Professor Donald Hall and his group at the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii and Dr. Keiichi Kodaira, Project Scientist at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. The goal of the collaboration is to design and construct a novel type of infrared camera as a prototype instrument for the Japanese National Large Telescope (JNLT) and to have discussions on adaptive optics techniques and technology for applications on the JNLT. The Japanese astronomical community is now far along in plans to construct an 8.3-meter class optical/infrared telescope, the Japanese National Large Telescope, which would be put into operation on Mauna Kea, Hawaii this decade. Much work has already been conducted on the telescope design, site characterization, mirror control system, instrument complement, and site agreements between the University of Hawaii and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan. This award will permit University of Hawaii scientists to travel to Japan to continue discussions on the development of instrument concepts and the construction of prototype instruments that can lead to major facility instruments on the JNLT. This award is also supported by the NSF Division of Astronomical Sciences, Advanced Technologies and Instrumentation Program.

该奖项支持为期两年的研究合作， 唐纳德·霍尔教授和他的团队在天文学研究所 在夏威夷大学和博士Keiichi科代拉，项目 日本国家天文台的科学家。 的 合作的目标是设计和建造一种新型的 红外相机作为日本国家实验室的原型仪器 大望远镜（JNLT），并讨论自适应光学 在JNLT上应用的技术和技术。 日本天文学界现在正沿着计划， 建造一个8.3米级的光学/红外望远镜， 国家大型望远镜，将于 莫纳克亚山，夏威夷这十年。 已经做了很多工作 对望远镜进行了设计，场地表征，镜面 控制系统、仪表补充和现场协议 夏威夷大学和国家天文台 日本天文台。 该奖项将允许夏威夷大学 科学家前往日本继续讨论 发展仪器概念和建造 原型仪器，可以导致主要设施仪器上 的JNLT。 该奖项也得到了NSF天文学分部的支持。 科学，先进技术和仪器计划。
