Science Requirements and Trade-offs for the MOSAIC Instrument for the European ELT
C. J. Evans, M. Puech, M. Rodrigues +9
Building on the comprehensive White Paper on the scientific case for multi-object spectroscopy on the European ELT, we present the top-level instrument requirements that are being…
The Gravitational Universe
The eLISA Consortium, :, P. Amaro Seoane +158
The last century has seen enormous progress in our understanding of the Universe. We know the life cycles of stars, the structure of galaxies, the remnants of the big bang, and hav…
The E-ELT Multi-Object Spectrograph: latest news from MOSAIC
F. Hammer, S. Morris, L. Kaper +9
There are 8000 galaxies, including 1600 at z larger than 1.6, which could be simultaneously observed in an E-ELT field of view of 40 sq. arcmin. A considerable fraction of astrophy…
Free-flight experiments in LISA Pathfinder
M. Armano, H. Audley, G. Auger +89
The LISA Pathfinder mission will demonstrate the technology of drag-free test masses for use as inertial references in future space-based gravitational wave detectors. To accomplis…
Micrometeoroid Events in LISA Pathfinder
James Ira Thorpe, Jacob Slutsky, John Baker +104
The zodiacal dust complex, a population of dust and small particles that pervades the Solar System, provides important insight into the formation and dynamics of planets, comets, a…
Simulating Surveys for ELT-MOSAIC: Status of the MOSAIC Science Case after Phase A
M. Puech, C. J. Evans, K. Disseau +17
We present the consolidated scientific case for multi-object spectroscopy with the MOSAIC concept on the European ELT. The cases span the full range of ELT science and require eith…
