W. M. Keck Observatory next-generation adaptive optics facility: science operations
2008
The W. M. Keck Observatory is currently engaged in the conceptual design of a powerful new adaptive optics (AO)
science capability providing precision AO correction in the near infrared (NIR) and visible and faint object multiplexed
integral field spectroscopy. In this poster, we present the conceptual design of the Science Operations for this Next
Generation Adaptive Optics (NGAO) facility. We summarize the main requirements for science operations resulting
from the science cases and the Observatory requirements. We give an overview of the science operation paradigm and
design that will meet these requirements. We then illustrate the pre-observing, observing and post-observing interfaces
by looking into various observing scenarios. We conclude by briefly outlining the project milestones.
