MTCA workshop for accelerator and physics in Japan 2021 was held from October 26-28 2021 in a virtual format. The goal of this workshop is to boost the application of MTCA in Japan by exchanging the information and experiences. The first day was dedicated for the tutorial session in Japanese and the other two days consisted of oral presentations. The workshop was very successful with more than...
The 2nd MTCA/ATCA workshop in China has been held on-line in August when two years later of the first one. Summary of the workshop will be talked and the overview status of MicroTCA.4 development and applications will also be shown. Website of the workshp: https://indico.ihep.ac.cn/event/14765/
The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) is under construction on Cerro Armazones in Chile. MicroTCA.4 will be used as a basis for the new modular ESO detector controller (NGCII) for all future visible and infrared scientific detectors. Specifically, IR CMOS detectors are the most commonly used detector type for the ELTs first generation of instruments. The presentation gives an insight into how...
Ground based astronomical observatories often require electrical equipment to reside out in the open air close to the telescope and instrument optics. The telescope and instrument optics are extremely sensitive to air currents caused by the warm electronics operating in domes open to the cool night air. In order to avoid these air currents the ANU in collaboration with ESO has undertaken to...
