Proposer: M Bessell
This project aims to promote contact and collaboration between Australian
and Japanese astronomers. In the past year there have been a number of joint
discussions held on the best ways of fostering collaboration, together with
some visits by Japanese observers to Australian optical astronomy facilities.
Dr M Bessell attended the opening of the Japanese SUBARU astronomy facility
in Hilo, Hawaii and, in the course of the opening, had discussions with
Japanese counterparts. Professors Ando and Kajino, together with students
from their respective institutions in Japan, travelled to Australia to use
the Anglo-Australian Telescope and the 74 inch MSSSO telescope. Further
visits by senior Japanese astronomers are planned in the next year, and
Australian participation in a week-long scientific conference at the SUBARU
facility is envisaged.
