2nd LBTO Users' Meeting - June 20,23 - Florence, Italy. Save the date!

The LBTO 2017 Users' Meeting will take place at the Convitto della Calza, Florence, Italy, from Tuesday evening, June 20 to Friday, June 23.

With the LBT facility instruments commissioned in pairs, LBTI routinely used by all partners in incoherent or coherent mode, LINC-NIRVANA en route for Lean-MCAO observing, and the ultra-high resolution of the PEPSI spectrograph available, the 2nd Users’ Meeting will focus on enabling LBT to realize its full potential as both a pair of 8.4m telescopes and, thanks to its interferometric capabilities, a forerunner of the ELTs. 

For current or prospective LBT users, the meeting will be an opportunity to share their scientific results, projects, and aspiration for the future of the observatory, foster boundary-crossing multi-partner collaborations, discuss new observing modes and new services with the observatory staff, and prepare for the next generation of instruments on the horizon for 2018-2019, all of which exploit the unique performance of the LBT's upgraded AO system.    

Please mark the date! You will find a first set of practical information (meeting place, links to hotel reservation, talk/poster submission) by visiting the Users' Meeting website here. For further questions on the meeting, contact either the Scientific Organizing Committee (soc-um @ lbto.org) or the Local Organizing Committee (loc-um @ lbto.org).

Abstract submission deadline for oral presentations at the LBTO 2014 Users' Meeting is 

Jan 15, 2014 EoA (UTC+12)

- Is your current research using data from LBTO? Come and talk about it at the Users’ Meeting (UM) with the LBTO users’ community!  Scientific results or data-related issues (calibration, data processing) are welcome!

- Do you have ideas or projects related to instrument pipelines, archives, observing modes? The UM will be a good time to talk about them and get feedback from other users as well as from LBTO and the LBT partnership. 

- If you intend to submit a proposal as an answer to the call for instrument upgrades or new instruments, don’t forget to submit an abstract on your project, as the UM is your only chance to present live your proposal to the community as well as to the LBT SAC and Board.

- If you have ideas on 2nd generation instruments for the observatory in the next decade, you better submit an abstract for the UM too, as we should start talking about them as soon as possible! 

-You want to talk about something else LBT-related? Well, submit an abstract too.

Don’t forget: the deadline is January 15, 2014 AoE (or UTC+12). 

Abstract Submission is one click away from the Users’ Meeting home page and does not require you to register to the UM.
