The FLWO Ridge Complex: A Report to OIR

Dr. Emilio Falco, CfA

The new generation of instruments on the MMT offers outstanding scientific opportunities for CfA scientists, but we need to think carefully about the best way to support their use and data analysis while improving what we are doing on the ridge. I recently traveled to Arizona to consider ways we can improve our operations at the Whipple Observatory, and to think ahead to the era (not far off!) when operating MMT instruments and dealing with the data they produce will be major activities in Amado and in Cambridge. My report is available as a postscript file at:

We hope that the ideas therein will stimulate a lively and interesting discussion.
