Design (La Laguna: GRANTECAN, S.A., 1997). The first scientific results of
the telescope were presented by J. M. Rodríguez Espinosa, F. Garzón López
and V. Melo Martín (eds), Science with the GTC 10-m Telescope (Revista
Mexicana de Astronomía y Astrofísica Serie de Conferencias, 16, 2003). Asteroid
44103 (Aldana) is listed in L. D. Schmadel’s Dictionary of Minor Planet
Names: Addendum to Fifth Edition 2003–2005 (Berlin: Springer Verlag,
2006), 209–210.

The European Extremely Large Telescope: Dealings
with ESO (1961–Present)
An early discussion of seeing is given by J. Stock and G. Keller in G. P. Kuiper
(ed.), Telescopes (Chicago: Chicago University Press, 1960), and site selection
is covered in the same volume by A. B. Meinel. A description of the 100-m
OWL is provided in the OWL Concept Design Report: Phase A Design Review
(Garching: ESO), The Euro-50 telescope proposal is described by T. Andersen,
A. Ardeberg, and M. Ower-Petersen (eds), Euro 50: Design Study of a 50 m
Adaptive Optics Telescope (Lund: Lund University, 2003), and the E-ELT is
described in The E-ELT Construction Proposal (Garching: ESO). The European
Northern Observatory concept is described by D. Leverington, Observatories
and Telescopes of Modern Times: Ground-Based Optical and Radio Astronomy
Facilities since 1945 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2016), ch. 6.
See Muñoz-Tuñón (ed.), Site Properties of the Canarian Observatories (New
Astronomy Reviews, 42,1998) for a full discussion of site conditions at Roque
de los Muchachos Observatory. A summary of dust episodes at Mauna Kea is
provided by M. Dickinson, C. Dumas, and M. Bolte, NOAO Newsletter 115
(March 2017), 14–16. A comparative site characterization study of Armazones
and Paranal for the emplacement of the VLT is given in M. Sarazin (ed.), VLT
Report No. 62, ‘VLT Site Selection Working Group Final Report’ (Munich:
ESO, 1990). There is no similar report for the E-ELT. A discussion of site
characterization efforts worldwide is provided by Vernin, Benkhaldoun, and
Muñoz-Tuñón (eds), IAU Technical Workshop: Astronomical Site Evaluation in
the Visible and Radio Range (San Francisco: ASP, 2002).
