The Australian Gemini Office (AusGO) hosted by the Anglo-Australian Observatory coordinates Australian usage of large offshore facilities including the Gemini 8.1 metre telescopes in Hawaii and Chile; the Keck 10 metre and Subaru 8.2 metre telescopes in Hawaii (via a time exchange agreement with Gemini); and the Magellan 6.5 metre telescopes in Chile. AusGO consists of the Australian Gemini Scientist (Stuart Ryder), two Deputy Gemini Scientists (Simon O'Toole based at AAO and Christopher Onken based at RSAA), and four Magellan Fellows (Francesco Di Mille and Shane Walsh, both based in Chile; Ricardo Covarrubias based at the AAO; and David Floyd based at the University of Melbourne). |
