  • Abstract
    The two Keck 10-m telescopes are in regular use for scientific research. An initial complement of three instruments are to be supplemented with four second generation instruments. In addition, an adaptive optics system is about to go into operation, and implementation of an interferometry mode using the two Kecks and outlying smaller telescopes is well underway
