About the Book

ESO's new and exciting telescope, the VLT in Chile, will certainly bring a host of new results in optical astronomy. This workshop surveys a large variety of possible observations and the needed instrumentation, and the book gives an exciting overview of front research in astronomy rarely published before, addressing researchers and engineers of optical instruments.
