The SHARP Team
The current team
The SHARP headquarters are located at the Astronomical Observatory of Brera (Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera), in Milan. The Observatory is part of the National Institute of Astrophysics (Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica - INAF).
The team listed below, composed of about 50 people affiliated with 10 INAF institutes and 4 universities. The team includes scientists as well as engineers, optical designers and software developers. This core team was initially assembled to define the main characteristics of SHARP and its optimal placement, and to manage the concept study phase. The team, on the basis of scientific drivers and considering the upcoming spectrographs at ESO, defined the Main Requirements of SHARP identifing the 2nd port of MORFEO@ELT as its best placement. The team is currently going on with the concept study of SHARP. The project status is described here.
The project will soon need a larger international structured team to cover all the needed expertise.
The Science Team
The SHARP Science Team (ST) currently comprises approximately 35 scientists. The team, consisting of experts covering a wide range of astrophysical topics, is organized into four Working Groups (WG): WG1 - Early Universe and Cosmology; WG2 - Galaxies and AGNs; WG3 - Interstellar medium, young stellar objects, planetary systems; WG4 - Resolved Stellar Populations. Each WG has delineated key scientific objectives within its respective area of investigation. The ST is actively managing and engaging the Italian scientific community in the development of a comprehensive collection of scientific cases where the capabilities of SHARP would be indispensable.
ST will soon expand as national and international collaborations grow.
