The `Ohana project is a collaborative effort involving (in
alphabetical order):
- The Canada France Hawaii
Telescope ,
- The high angular resolution
group at DESPA, at the
Paris Observatory,
- The Gemini Observatory ,
- The Institute for
Astronomy at the University of
Hawaii,
- The Coherent
Optics group at IRCOM,
- IRTF, operated for NASA
by the IfA at the Univeristy of
Hawaii,
- The W.M.Keck
Observatory,
- The MIRA group and
the Subaru Telescope,
operated by the National Astronomical
Observatory of Japan ,
- The National Optical Astronomical
Observatories,

with collaboration from the Photonics
(formerly Applied Optics) group at Imperial College of Science Technology
and Medicine

Jean-Marie Mariotti's original paper.
A paper was written for the CFHT Information bullentin (No
42), which explains the project to a broader community. It is avaliable
in HTML at this
link.
A document starting to address questions related to cost was written,
originally to be presented to CFHT's Science Advisory Council. An html
version of it is available at this
link or you can download the postscript
file (use "save as" on your browser).
A second meeting took place on December 18th/19th 2000, to follow up
on the project plan, discuss the scientific potential and review the
technical issues. Please see the
summary
(or use "save as"
for text version) of the meeting to find out about the phase II plan, science
potential and technological
points.
Also some
pictures of our `Ohana taken during the second meeting.
A meeting hosted by CFHT took place on March 16th/17th 2000, to discuss
possibilities, interests and motivations. A
summary
was generated that establishes a 3 phase plan to proceed with such a project.
Also from the meeting:
During the SPIE conference, Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation
2000, a poster describing the current status was presented, along with
new computations for the expected
sensitivity of the array. Follow this
link
or download
the pdf version of the paper.
The draft of the project plan is available. Please follow this
link for the text version (use "save as" on your browser) or this
link for an html version.
Some discussions pertaining to technical points have been taking place
over email. Follow this
link to see if a technical issue has already been addressed, for a
more technical overview of the project, or to ask a question to any of
the participants (email links).
