In 2028, the Extremely Large European Telescope (ELT) will have its first light. The high angular resolution and large collecting capacity, combined with the extreme sensitivity of the ELT's instruments, will enable unprecedented observations of star-forming regions, exoplanetary systems, and distant small bodies in the Solar System. In this context, various French laboratories are deeply involved, both technically and scientifically, in the consortia of all of the ELT's instruments, working on their development and scientific exploitation. For many years, the French community has developed key expertise in instrumental and technological advancements for exoplanet spectro-imaging, exoplanet detection, atmospheric characterization and modeling, and the study of the initial conditions for planetary formation.
The Exo-ELT II workshop follows a first edition held in November 2022, whose summary report is still available online: ExoELT2022-France-report-summary.pdf
Goals
In this context, we are organizing the second edition of a thematic workshop on the study of exoplanetary systems with the ELT in March 2025. Our main objectives are:
to inform the French community about the status, timeline, observing modes, and performance of the MORFEO/MICADO, HARMONI, METIS, MOSAIC, ANDES, and PCS instruments,
to present and collectively revisit the science cases, samples, observation strategies, calibration methods, data analysis, and interpretation tools for programs dedicated to the study of exoplanetary systems,
to consolidate and shareour efforts, tools, and strategy for preparatory work on ELT programs dedicated to this topic, within both guaranteed and open time. This includes work on source selection, simulation, data analysis, and calibration tools, preparatory observations involving different observational techniques, as well as synergies between our programs and those of other instruments and space missions (ALMA, Gaia, VLT/VLTI-2030, JWST, PLATO, NGST...). The key is to optimize scientific outcomes for our community and for our observation programs in guaranteed and open time on the ELT.
Pre-registration & registration
Pre-registration:
You can pre-register from now on to January 15th, 2025 on the scienceconf.org website: registration.
For those who do not have a sciencesconf account yet, you have to create one when you register.
Validation of the registration:
if you are permanent, to validate it, it will be necessary to be pre-registered (on the site scienceconf.org: registration) and to pay the registration fee (180.00 euros TTC) before January 15th, 2022on the site Azur Colloque (not open yet).
For non-permanent participants, the registration fee is free, and it is also possible to request the travel expenses (train only) to be covered during your pre-registration. It will be then necessary to plan and validate your mission before February 1st, 2025.
Nights, breakfasts, lunches, dinners and coffee breaks are covered by the workshop.
Venue
The workshop will take place in person over two full days from March 12th to March 14th, 2025 at the CNRS Villa Clythia, located at 2754 Av. Henri Giraud, 83600 Fréjus.
Access: To come to the Villa, you will find the information for access on the following link.
Carbon footprint: We encourage you to plan your trip to minimize your environmental impact by using the simulation tool developed by the Labo1point5 group.
Venue: The Villa Clythia has a conference room with a capacity of 100 people in normal time, and several meeting rooms for parallel discussions. Dinner and lunch will also be held at the Villa and will be provided by the workshop.
