Funded Activity Summary
MAVIS: A Revolutionary New Instrument for the European Southern Observatory. This application aims to fund an innovative spectrograph for "MAVIS" - a ground-breaking Australian-led instrument for the European Southern Observatory (ESO), enabled by the current $120M 10-year Australia-ESO strategic partnership. MAVIS leverages ESO’s $40M investment in its unique Adaptive Optics Facility, and $30M of European funding for MAVIS itself. MAVIS will give the sharpest, most sensitive optical view of the cosmos ever, exceeding the capabilities of any ground- or space-based telescope in existence, or planned for the coming decade. The capabilities enabled by this funding will make MAVIS an essential tool for discoveries across a broad range of science prioritised by the Australian astronomy community’s 10-year strategic plan.Funded Activity Details
