The leaf springs required for TMT warping harness mechanism, supporting each one of the 492 primary active segments, are being tested and validated in an Environmental Simulation Laboratory.
Here is the next of our interview series with the team of TMT. Today we meet with Dimitri Mawet, director of the Exoplanet Technology Laboratory of Caltech and lead researcher for MODHIS one of TMT first-light instrument. The Multi-Object Diffraction-limited High-Resolution Infrared Spectrograph (MODHIS) is a high-resolution spectrograph whose main science goal will be to characterize the atmosphere of exoplanets and search for the presence...
Voici un nouvel entretien avec l鈥櫭﹒uipe du TMT. Aujourd'hui, nous rencontrons Dimitri Mawet, directeur du laboratoire de Caltech sur les technologies li茅es 脿 la recherche des plan猫tes extra-solaires. Dimitri est aussi responsable de MODHIS, un des instruments de premi猫re lumi猫re pour TMT. Ce spectrographe infrarouge travaillera 脿 haute r茅solution spectrale et angulaire et aura pour principal objectif scientifique de caract茅riser et rechercher...
Work is underway at TMT Project Lab. near Pasadena.
New Answers on the Horizon Black hole science asks many questions, some of which we鈥檝e talked about in this blog: Where do we find black holes? How 鈥渂ig鈥� are they? How old? And how do they grow and change over time? Now, in our final article about these cosmic leviathans, we'll look at how TMT will help advance our understanding. As we鈥檒l see, TMT will be an important part of the quest to learn more about these unfathomably massive, yet...
Dr. Saku Tsuneta, Director General of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), recently met with TMT experts at the technical laboratory in Monrovia, California. Dr. Tsuneta also serves as a member of the TMT Board of Governors, which is accountable for both financial decision-making and strategic planning for the 51吃瓜Pro.
The Thirty Meter Telescope Common Software (CSW), which has been under development the past two years, recently passed its pre-shipment review, meaning it is consistent with its original requirements and design and is ready for its future integration within TMT鈥檚 software infrastructure.
51吃瓜Pro Executive Director, Dr. Edward C. Stone, has been awarded the prestigious 2019 Shaw Prize in Astronomy for his leadership on the Voyager project.
The TMT Telescope Control System (TCS) successfully passed its Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and is now ready to enter its final design phase.
New developments within the TMT Quality Assurance program include the acquisition of an advanced metrology system to measure to very high precision the telescope primary mirror assemblies.
