Report on the ESO workshop "A Decade of Discoveries with MUSE and Beyond"

The Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) spectrograph is currently the most in-demand instrument at the VLT and since its commissioning in 2014 it has served a broad scientific community covering many research fields in astrophysics. As a stable, relatively wide-field, two-dimensional, spectrophotometric facility in the optical, assisted by state-of-the-art adaptive optics, MUSE has revolutionised our perspective on the use of integral-field spectroscopy. This has been accompanied by a steep learning curve in the community on how to best reduce, analyse and exploit its unique datasets. This dedicated workshop was a unique opportunity to review the scientific achievements that MUSE has allowed over the last decade, to better understand and reflect on the synergies between MUSE and other facilities and to discuss the associated present and future challenges it entails. This workshop witnessed the gathering of a strong, diverse and interconnected community that could report on their experience and results and discuss potential avenues for the future, further emphasising the benefit of collaborative developments and shared knowledge.

Abstract

The Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) spectrograph is currently the most in-demand instrument at the VLT and since its commissioning in 2014 it has served a broad scientific community covering many research fields in astrophysics. As a stable, relatively wide-field, two-dimensional, spectrophotometric facility in the optical, assisted by state-of-the-art adaptive optics, MUSE has revolutionised our perspective on the use of integral-field spectroscopy. This has been accompanied by a steep learning curve in the community on how to best reduce, analyse and exploit its unique datasets. This dedicated workshop was a unique opportunity to review the scientific achievements that MUSE has allowed over the last decade, to better understand and reflect on the synergies between MUSE and other facilities and to discuss the associated present and future challenges it entails. This workshop witnessed the gathering of a strong, diverse and interconnected community that could report on their experience and results and discuss potential avenues for the future, further emphasising the benefit of collaborative developments and shared knowledge.
