SUMMARY:The Iranian National Observatory project and its science case
DESCRIPTION:The Iranian National Observatory project and its science case\n
 Dr. Sepehr Arbabi Bidgoli\n\nThe plan of the Iranian National Observatory 
 (INO) is to build within the next 5 years an active 3 meter telescope with
  a  possible adaptive secondary on a mountain with more than 3000m height.
  We plan to have a remote-access and encourage the international community
  of astronomers to cooperate and to use up to 70% of the observing time. F
 or the optical design and the first instruments we focus  on few topics of
  astronomy. In the first part of my talk I  will give a status report of t
 his project and review the current proposals for the science case.\n\nIn t
 he second part of my talk I will introduce my own research interest and ta
 lk about the voids in the large scale structure of the universe. We have d
 one studies on the systematics of void search algorithms in 2D galaxy samp
 les, a 3D void analysis of the SDSS data release 6, and some approaches fo
 r theoretical modeling of the void properties and statistics. The Iranian 
 National Observatory project and its science case\n\n
