Over the past years, a team of ~100 astronomers from around the world worked to hone the science cases for #AtLAST.  The result is a compendium of eight white papers and an overview report. Read more about them and find all the relevant links here: atlast.uio.no/news-and-event…

VPHAS+ r-band HiPS is now available at alasky.cds.unistra.fr/VPHAS/… 4 filters of VPHAS+ are now published as HiPS. You can visualize them, combine them. Here is a RGB composite from H-alpha, i and r bands.

Now that the news is sinking in. A little more about @HorizonEU project AtLAST2: start in 2025, 20 partners from 3 continents, strengthened global cooperation, prototyping and testing on SRT and APEX of new telescope and renewable energy system technologies

We just received the news that the #EU has approved our new grant proposal for the post-design study phase of #AtLAST 🍾🥳 We are extremely excited for the next phase! It’s amazing to receive this news while many of us are meeting at the #EAS2024Padova

Caroline Bot making the case for studying the whole ISM of the LMC and SMC at the unique resolution of sub-pc with AtLAST - the two dwarf satellites of the Milky Way are even visible in the AtLAST logo

Congratulations to @VioleIsabelle for a successful PhD defense! Dr Viole’s PhD, funded by the #Horizon2020 #AtLAST design study, is the first study of a renewable energy system for a large astronomical infrastructure. Isabelle has contributed enormously to the AtLAST project

The #AtLAST design study is drawing to an end. More than three years of work encapsulated into a four-day conference, summarised in a nice, all-inclusive news item: atlast.uio.no/news-and-event… And yet, a lot more is still to come. The future is bright, and not only in the submm 😁

The #AtLAST facility will serve a broad community, covering studies from the #Sun to the edge of the Universe and everything in between. But what are its key science drivers that drive the design requirements? We summarise the answer in this #SPIE paper: arxiv.org/abs/2405.20140
