The Giant Segmented Mirror Telescope The USA Decadal Review In May 2000, the US astronomy decadal review committee recommended, as its highest priority ground-based initiative, the construction of a 30-meter Giant Segmented Mirror Telescope (GSMT) In response, AURA formed a New Initiatives Office (NIO) to support scientific and technical studies leading to the creation of a GSMT NIO is a joint venture of the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO) and the Gemini Observatory Goal is to ensure broad astronomy community access to a 30m telescope contemporary with NGST. N IO Organization AURA New Initiatives OfficeApproach to GSMT Design Three Parallel efforts: Understand the scientific context for GSMT in NGST / ALMA era Develop the key science requirements Address challenges common to all ELTs Site testing and selection Cost-effective segment fabrication Characterization of wind loading Hierarchical control systems Adaptive optics Cost control techniques Develop a Point Design Based on initial science goals instrument concepts Science Programs Site Testing and Selection Survey of candidate sites by remote sensing (satellite data) Regions of interest: Mauna Kea Western United States and Mexico Chile Parameters determined: Cloud cover Precipitable water vapor Collaborators: Cornell ESO University of Tokyo CELT UNAM INAOE (Mexico) Site Testing and Selection Construction of turbulence profilometer (MASS – Multi-Aperture Scintillation Sensor) Uses scintillation measurements of a single star to measure: Isoplanatic angle, characteristic strengths and altitudes of the few dominant turbulence layers Integral seeing producing by the whole atmosphere Site Testing and Selection Atmospheric turbulence modeling and measuring Direct measurements of seeing and wind speed Computational fluid dynamics Collaborators CELT UNAM (Mexico) Cornell Site Testing and Selection Sodium layer measurements at Cerro Tololo Collaborating on Gemini study to answer questions about v
