Keck Strategic Plan: Twenty-year strategic goals
• Leadership in high angular resolution astronomy• Leadership in state of the art instrumentation• Highly efficient observing• Complementarity with ELTs
• NGAO supports all of these!

Keck AO Strategic Plan: NGAO• AO strategic plan established by Keck AO Working Group
in Nov/02 & reaffirmed in Sept/04:
“AOWG vision is that high Strehl, single-object, AO will be the most important competitive point for Keck AO in the next decade.”
• Sept/05: New AOWG tasked by Observatory & SSC to develop science case for Keck NGAO.
• Jun/06. NGAO proposal approved.Multi-object also emphasized

Complementary to JWST, ALMAComplementary to JWST, ALMA
• JWST: 2013JWST: 2013– Much higher sensitivity longward of K band
NGAO emphasizing wavelengths > K band– JWST: “Expect same resolution as HST below 2 m”
NGAO has clear resolution advantage– No multi-object IFU capability
• ALMA: 2012ALMA: 2012– Spatial resolution as low as 0.01 to 0.1 arc sec (!)– Complementary data on dust & cold gas
Our goal is to position NGAO to build on, and complement, JWST & ALMA discoveries

Complementary to TMTComplementary to TMT
• TMT IRMS: AO multi-slit, based on MOSFIRE– Slits: 0.12” and 0.16”, Field of regard: 2 arc min
– Lower backgrounds: 10% of sky + telescope
• NGAO with multiplexed deployable IFU’s– Multi-object AO better spatial resolution (0.07”) over full
field
– Backgrounds: 30% of sky + telescope
• Pros for TMT: lower backgrounds, higher sensitivity• Pros for NGAO: higher spatial resolution, 2D information,
better wide field performance
