Mutual Instrument Development for Large Telescopes

国家天文台的Noumaru博士出席了1995年SPIE会议，并与Mauna-Kea天文台和夏威夷大学的工作人员讨论了为国家天文台新的大型光红外望远镜SUBARU设计的多目标摄谱仪的开发方案，正在莫纳克亚山顶上建造的。夏威夷大学的德永教授访问了NAO，并与其SUBARU团队，海部博士，Karouji博士，西村博士，关口博士，小林，林和其他人，以建立指导方针，发展红外相机及其摄谱仪专用于斯巴鲁望远镜。海夫博士的NAO，在亚利桑那大学，与NRAO和SAO的代表举行了一次会议，讨论未来国际合作的可能性，1999年，他访问了莫纳克亚山的毫米波天文台，并对SUBARU望远镜的主镜进行了考察。NAO的Takami博士和东京大学的Nakashima先生访问了1）夏威夷大学、2）莫纳克亚天文台、3）芝加哥大学和4）亚利桑那大学，以交换关于自适应光学的信息，特别是变形镜和激光人造星技术等课题。NAO的Karouji博士参加了莫纳克亚天文台的用户会议，并两次访问了夏威夷大学，讨论近期在SUBARU望远镜上的合作。

Dr.Noumaru of the National Astronomical Observatory (NAO) attended the 1995-SPIE Conference and had a discussion with the staff of the Mauna-Kea Observatory and the University of Hawaii on the development program of the multi-object spectrograph designed for the NAO's new large opto-IR telescope, SUBARU,which are being constructed on the top of Mt.Mauna Kea.Prof.Tokunaga of the University of Hawaii visited the NAO and had a discussion with its SUBARU team, Drs Kaifu, Karouji, Nishimura, Sekiguchi, Kobayashi, Hayashi, and others, to establish the guideline to develop the infrared camera and its spectrograph dedicated to the SUBARU telescope.Dr.Kaifu of the NAO,at the University of Arizona, had a meeting with the representatives of the NRAO and the SAO on the possibility of a future international collaboration on the sub-millimeter wave observatory on the Mauna Kea.He also made an investigation about the primary mirror of the SUBARU telescope.Dr.Takami of the NAO and Mr.Nakashima of the University of Tokyo visited 1) the University of Hawaii, 2) the Mauna Kea Observatory, 3) the Chicago University, and 4) the University of Arizona to exchange information on the adaptive optics, especially the topics on the deformable mirror and the technique of the laser artificial stars.Dr.Karouji of the NAO attended the user meeting of the Mauna Kea Observatory.He also visited the University of Hawaii twice to discuss the nearfuture cooperation on the SUBARU telescope.
