E-ELT Instrumentation Roadmap | PST 11.07.2012

The instrument studies

The goal of the study programme was to carry-out

a suitable number of instrument studies

to work with the ESO community towards construction

to verify that instruments can be built at an affordable

cost and that they properly address the highest priority

scientific goals,

to work with telescope and operation groups to identify

and define interfaces with the other subsystems and

the observatory infrastructure.

9 instrument and 2 post-focal AO studies carried

out by >300 scientists and engineers in 40

institutes throughout the ESO community

OVERVIEW OF THE E-ELT INSTRUMENT

STUDIES

Nr. Evaluation Criteria for E-ELT instrument selection 1 Scientific Merit :

(a) the instrument addresses science goals identified as of highest priority for the E-ELT

(b) the instrument can be conceived as an E-ELT workhorse to be used for a variety of

programmes, leading to a broad spectrum of potential discoveries

(c) the instrument will benefit and complement observations of other major facilities in

astrophysics like ALMA and the JWST , which will be already in operation at the time of first

light

2 Proven Technical Feasibility and Simulated Performance: the instrument feasibility and its

expected performance have been properly demonstrated in the study

3 Affordability: (a) the instrument cost is well estimated and justified (b) the cost to ESO falls within

or close to the preliminary budget envelope.

4 Timely Match to the telescope + PFAO performance: the instrument schedule of implementation is

well matched to the path of the telescope +AO to full performance. The instrument includes the

possibility to do prime science even during the time when the telescope cannot operate with AO.

priorities (SWG/STC/ESO)

Selection by other considerations (project readiness)

Practical requirements

Staggered project schedule for funding profile

Staggered commissioning schedule

Start enabling technology development, especially

for high-priority instruments e.g. ELT-PCS

Begin project when feasibility (TRL) is demonstrated


Roadmap Considerations

ELT-3 to help cover poor IQ conditions (SWG/STC)

MOS/HIRES scientific requirements to be developed

to allow selection between options (SWG)

Keep flexibility (SWG/STC/ESO)

Changing science, new member states, precursor

instruments

Possibility for submission of new/revised ideas (ESO)
