The Precision Astronomical Visible Observations (PAVO) instrument will pursue some of the most active and inspirational topics in contemporary astrophysics: tracing the formation of stars and solar systems. PAVO will focus on binary and multiple stars, directly detecting many new stellar companions, finding planets through the side-to-side wobble induced on their parent stars and imaging the complex process of stellar and planetary birth. The path to these goals lies through advances in the manipulation of light embodied by the PAVO instrument which will allow it to obtain higher spatial resolution on fainter objects than any competing approach.

精密天文可见光观测（PAVO）仪器将研究当代天体物理学中一些最活跃和最具启发性的课题：追踪恒星和太阳系的形成。PAVO将专注于双星和多星，直接探测许多新的恒星伴星，通过在其母星上引起的左右摆动发现行星，并对恒星和行星诞生的复杂过程进行成像。实现这些目标的途径在于PAVO仪器所体现的光的操纵方面的进展，这将使其能够对较暗的物体获得比任何竞争方法更高的空间分辨率。
