Abstract
In the recent Astro2020 Decadal Report, “Pathways to Discovery in Astronomy and Astrophysics for the 2020s” Adaptive Optics (AO) was identified as a crucial technology for a variety of reasons. These included an emphasis on high-contrast imaging and AO systems as being part of future technology development especially with application to the two US ELT projects. Instrument upgrades were also identified for existing 4-10m class telescopes which would incorporate upgrades to existing AO systems. A workshop was held in May, 2023 to develop a Community Response document to provide feedback and suggested priorities to various funding agencies, such as NSF, NASA, and DoE, as to the AO R&D priorities to meet the technical and science objectives outlined in Astro2020 for ground-based AO, both stand-alone and in support of space missions. We report on the outcome of this workshop outlining the recommendations included in the Adaptive Optics Community Report for future AO systems to support the Astro2020 Science Goals.
