Development of Research Technology and Infrastructure
As astrophysical systems are very complex, the demands on the available computer hardware and software are extreme, and astrophysicists have always been amongst the power-users of national and international supercomputer centres. |

Telescope Control and RoboticsDevelopment of robotic telescopes, instruments, and software solutions for data reduction, archiving and "gridification"
High-resolution Spectroscopy and PolarimetryDevelopment of high-resolution spectrographs and polarimeters for solar and stellar physics
3D and Multi Object SpectroscopyDevelopment of optical field spectrographs and multi object spectrographs for ground-based telescopes
Supercomputing and E-ScienceSupercomputers are required for the huge astrophysical simulations, fast networks for transport of the data from telescopes and instruments, and efficient software environments for analysing both data from simulations and observations.
