Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 May 2006
Abstract
For a European ELT, we discuss science requirements and technical options. Science includes from the solar system to the first stars and galaxies. ELT and instrument needs are commented. Design options are discussed for the primary mirror, its segmentation and shape, and an adaptive secondary mirror. Adaptive optics and enclosure are commented.
