1 The European Extremely Large Telescope
2 Outline 1/ Status & description 2/ Instrumentation Roadmap 3/ French Contribution
3 1/ Status & description The E-ELT project A 40m class Telescope for the European Community Top priority of European ground-based astronomy (on Astronet and ESFRI lists). Cerro Armazones in Chile selected as the E-ELT site in April Detailed Design Phase completed in Construction Proposal published in Dec Project fully approved in Dec Construction started in Start of operations early next decade. Construction cost: 1083 M (including first-light instrumentation).
4 1/ Status & description The E-ELT project Construction cost: 1083 M Kick-off: Politics & Brazil: - IF 10+ members signed (DK, PT & ESP missing) > today 11 members :-) - IF 90% of the budget available > 62% budget :-( - New member, Brazil that weights 300 M - Project currently discussed at Parliament in May-June 2013 Next ESO council - June 2013; Project status re-discussed?
5 1/ Status & description The telescope site Following an extensive site testing campaign, involving several sites in Chile, Morocco, the Canary Islands, Argentina, Mexico, etc, ESO Council selected Cerro Armazones as the E-ELT site. Selection criteria: impact on science, outstanding atmosphere, but also construction and operations logistics (roads, water, electricity, nearby cities,...).
6 1/ Status & description Armazones Paranal
7 1/ Status & description The Telescope 40-m class telescope: largest optical-infrared telescope in the world. (GMT = 25m; TMT = 30m) Segmented primary mirror. Active optics to maintain collimation and mirror figure. Adaptive optics assisted telescope. Diffraction limited performance. (12mas@K-band) Wide field of view: 10 arcmin. Mid-latitude site (Armazones in Chile). Fast instrument changes. VLT level of efficiency in operations.
8 1/ Status & description The Telescope M2: 4.2 m Nasmyth telescope with a segmented primary mirror. Novel 5 mirror design to include adaptive optics in the telescope. Classical 3 mirrors anastigmat + 2 flat fold mirrors (M4, M5). M4 (AO): 2.4 m M5 (TT): 2.6x2.1 m M3: 3.8 m Nasmyth focus M1 (seg): 39.3 m Two instrument platforms nearly the size of tennis courts can host 3 instruments each + Coudé lab. Multiple laser guide stars, launched from the side. Nearly 3000 tonnes of moving structure.
9 1/ Status & description The Mirrors M1: 39.3 m, 798 hexagonal segments of 1.45 m tip-to-tip: 978 m2 collecting area M4: 2.4 m, flat, adaptive 6000 to 8000 actuators M5: 2.6 x 2.1 m, flat, provides tip-tilt correction
10 1/ Status & description The Dome Classical design. Diameter = 86 m, height = 74 m. ~3000 tonnes of steel. Fully air-conditioned and wind shielded.
11 1/ Status & description The Telescope
12 1/ Status & description Science Contemporary science: Exoplanets: radial velocity detections, direct imaging, transit spectroscopy, proto-planetary disks Fundamental physics: GR in the strong field limit, variation of fundamental constants, expansion history of the Universe Resolved stellar populations: beyond the Local Group The physics of high-redshift galaxies and much more! Synergies with other top facilities: VLT, ALMA, JWST, LSST, SKA, GAIA PLATO, and other survey telescopes ALMA JWST LSST Discovery potential: Opening new parameter space in terms of spatial resolution and sensitivity SKA

14 2/ Instrument Roadmap Selection process (2010)
15 2/ Instrument Roadmap Selection process (2010)
16 2/ Instrument Roadmap The instruments The telescope can host 7 instruments : 9 instruments and two adaptive optics module concept studies were conducted by the community. Instrument Roadmap (2011): Following recommendations by the E-ELT SWG and ESO's Scientific Technical Committee: 2 first-light instruments identified: a diffraction-limited near-infrared imager (CAM) and a single-field near-infrared wide-band integral field spectrograph (IFU). ELT-1 & 2. The next group (ELT-3, 4 and 5) has been broadly identified as covering the mid-infrared (MIR), as well as multi-object (MOS) and high-resolution spectroscopy (HIRES). Equal priority Planet camera spectrograph (PCS), separate track, high-scientific priority. Flexibility is maintained by including an as yet unspecified instrument. All concept studies remain in the pool of possible instruments.
