Sky Surveys

Two survey telescopes: Pan-STARRS1 on the left and and the Sloan Foundation Telescope on the right. 

Much recent progress in astrophysics has been driven by new panoptic surveys. The SDSS survey, in which MPIA was the first European partner institute, has been the most successful ground-based project in decades. MPIA is closely involved in the planning and exploitation of the Pan-STARRS1 survey.

These surveys have both imaging and spectroscopy components.
