Résumé

The MICADO instrument is the first light imager of the European ELT. It will work in the near-infrared (0.8-2.4 μm), over a large field (up to 50") and high sensitivity (similar to JWST). MICADO will benefit from two modes of adaptive optics correction: a MCAO correction, uniform on the field of MICADO and developed by the MAORY consortium, and a classic correction of the SCAO type, with high performance in the direction of the star guide and developed under the responsibility of the MICADO consortium. In a phased approach of the integration of adaptive optics to the ELT, MICADO will first be operational in SCAO mode. Offering four observing modes (imaging mode, astrometry, long-slit spectroscopy with R∼20000 and high contrast imaging), MICADO aims to scan a wide range of scientific objectives: small bodies and planets of the solar system, exoplanets and exo-disks, stellar populations in distant galaxies, black holes and the center of our galaxy, evolution and dynamics of galaxies.
