한국천문연구원 대형망원경사업단은 한국 천문학계의 광학관측 연구능력 제고를 목표로, ‘6~8m급 중대형 광학망원경의 공동활용’을 골자로 하는 “K-GMT Science Program”을 시행하고 있으며, 2017년 3월에 K-GMT Science Program을 통해 실행된 관측연구결과와 진행 상황을 공유하고, 바람직한 중대형 광학망원경 공동활용의 방향을 논의하는 "중대형망원경 사용자 워크숍"을 처음 개최한 바 있습니다. 그리고 2018년 2월 26~27일 양일간 "제2회 중대형망원경 사용자 워크숍” 즉 “K-GMT Science Program Users Meetign 2018"을 개최합니다. 이번 워크숍에는 특별히 Gemini 천문대에서 운영진을 포함한 여러 사람이 참여하여, Gemini 천문대의 현황과 향후 계획을 소개하는 동시에 K-GMT Science Program 사용자 여러분과 직접 의견을 나눌 예정입니다. K-GMT Science Program의 기존 사용자를 비롯해, 중대형 광학망원경을 이용한 연구에 관심이 있는 모든 분의 적극적인 참여를 부탁드립니다.

We, on behalf of all members of Center for Large Telescopes (CfLAT) in Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI), cordially invite you all to the “K-GMT Science Program Users Meeting 2018.” This will be the 2nd Users Meeting after the first one that was successfully held in March 2017. We aim to use the K-GMT Science Program Users Meeting as an opportunity to present your scientific results, progress, and observing plans of your new project, and to share your experiences and thoughts on the K-GMT Science Program with other community users as well as CfLAT members. We also welcome prospect and potential future users to the meeting. You can share your idea on your future project, and we are more than happy to assist you in realizing your idea. Your participations and engagements are very crucial to the success of K-GMT Science Program that aspires to constitute a major Korean Large Optical Facility Program, empowering various and competitive scientific projects of Korean community members.
As a special event for Users Meeting 2018, we are going to invite several guests from Gemini Observatory, and they are going to show the current status and future plan of Gemini Observatory, and will communicate directly with K-GMT Science Program users by answering to any question of yours. Therefore, we believe this will be the best chance for our users to learn more about Gemini Observatory and to understand what they will be able to do with various observing modes of Gemini Observatory that should be available to Korean community members, hopefully in the near future.
Join us and ask us! We will listen to you!
