1.3.2 NA3: Structuring European Astronomy Participant number 2 Participant short name PPARC Total Person-months 4.74 4.74 Considerable efforts have been put into these activities by many contractors and other persons, however, only two individuals are charging effort to the project. WP1: ELT The objective of N3.1 is to develop the science case for an Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). The network involves over 100 astronomers from around Europe. Since the 2004 annual report the following activities have been carried out or are underway. Production of a top-level brochure (24 pages) summarising the science case for a 50-100m ELT. The Brochure was printed and released in February 2005. It has been widely distributed A small sub-meeting to develop the "Galaxies and Cosmology" section of the science case. This was a one-day meeting held in Munich on 13April 2005, involving 8 members of the OPTICON ELT Science Working Group. Production of a full ELT science case document (about 150 pages). 3000 copies were printed and 3000 CDs were made. This was released as hardcopy in July 2005 at the EU Astronomy press day in Dwingeloo, NL and is also available for download on the web site. This document corresponds to WP1 D2. A summary article was written for the ESO messenger based on the above documents. This appeared in the September issue (vol 121 p2-10). Planning of and attendance at the IAU symposium on Scientific requirements for ELTs, held in Cape Town, November 2005 (see http://www.saao.ac.za/IAUS232/). Many members (over 20) of the OPTICON science group attended, (not all charging costs to the network) and this replaced the European ELT science case meeting for 2005 (WP1 M1). It provided an opportunity to exchange ideas and results with those working on other ELT projects around the World and it was an extremely interesting and productive meeting. The proceedings will be published by Cambridge University Press (CUP) in print and on-line. Continued close interaction with the European ELT Design Study. Six Members of the OPTICON ELT working group (in addition to the Design Study Project Scientists) attended a meeting on Adaptive Optics requirements for ELTs in Florence, May 2005. The web site for the OPTICON ELT Science WG, is (http://wwwastro.physics.ox.ac.uk/%7Eimh/ELT/ ) where details of the meetings and draft science cases can be found. 21 Contract [RII3-CT-2004-001566] Annual Report
