Researchers from the state of S\u00e3o Paulo will participate in the operations of one of the world\u2019s most important telescopes as a result of FAPESP having joined the international consortium of the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT), on which construction will start in Chile in 2015. The GMT will begin to function in 2021 and will expand by about 30 times the volume of data accessible to telescopes that are already in operation. FAPESP will invest $40 million in the project, the equivalent of about 4% of its estimated cost. This investment will ensure that 4% of GMT operating time will be available for projects being conducted by researchers from S\u00e3o Paulo. In addition, FAPESP will have a seat on the board of the consortium, now composed of 10 partners, including institutions from the United States, South Korea, and Australia. Hernan Chaimovich, member of the Area Panel on Special Programs and coordinator of FAPESP\u2019s Research, Innovation and Dissemination Centers (RIDC), told Ag\u00eancia FAPESP that negotiations are being held with Brazil\u2019s Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation to share in the financing and expand participation by institutions from all over Brazil. The GMT will make it possible to study the formation of stars and galaxies that occurred shortly after the Big Bang, and to measure the mass of black holes and map their immediate environment. The GMT may also be able to detect exoplanets similar to Earth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"S\u00e3o Paulo will take part in one of the world’s main telescopes","protected":false},"author":475,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[162],"tags":[205,234],"coauthors":[785],"class_list":["post-156330","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-strategies","tag-astronomy","tag-finance"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/475"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156330"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156330\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156330"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156330"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/revistapesquisa.fapesp.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=156330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
