Vlt

Scientific paper

The VLTwill be a unique observatory. With its four 8-metre independent elements and 17 foci it will offer unprecedented flexibility, in addition to its huge light collecting power. It will be equipped with technologies which are only now being realized, including adaptive optics and the potential for interferOmetric imaging. In view of these unique features, as weil as the large capital expenditure involved, it is desirable that innovative ideas on possible modes of Operation be explored, ideas which may resemble those of space observatories both in style and scale. It is also desirable that such a study be made in the early phases of design and construction of the VLT, so that the perceived reqUirements can be incorporated into the design of the VLT itself and its instrumentation.
