In the course of our proposed AODP work, we expect to make use of equipment furnished by NOAO. What can NOAO say about its plans for adaptive optics on the SOAR telescope?
A. NOAO is planning to build a compatible AO system for the SOAR telescope and has included this project in its Long Range Plan. The design work for the AO System is nearing completion; NOAO will complete that project subject to its (expected) success at the Preliminary Design Review. NOAO’s SOAR AO plans pre-date the Announcement of Opportunity of the AODP, and are independent of AODP outcomes.
