| Abstract: |
We present our current efforts to detect pulsating white dwarfs in
globular clusters and analyze the future of this area when
the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT)
and the Thirty-Meter Telescope (TMT) all become operational.
Today we are able to detect pulsating white dwarfs in M 4, NGC 6397
and NGC 6752. When ELT comes on line we should be able to improve the
quality of data for the nearby clusters and push the limit to at
least 3 magnitudes further, up to NGC 6626, increasing the number of
observable clusters from 3 to 20. |
