Operational optical turbulence forecast for the Service Mode of top-class ground based telescopes
E. Masciadri, F. Lascaux, A. Turchi +1
In this contribution we present the most relevant results obtained in the context of a feasibility study (MOSE) undertaken for ESO. The principal aim of the project was to quantify…
FAST: A software suite for automatic weather and optical turbulence forecast on ground-based telescope sites
A. Turchi, E. Masciadri, L. Fini
In this contribution we present the FAST, which is a comprehensive software suite that aims to streamline and automatically manage the forecast of atmospheric and astroclimatic par…
Optical turbulence forecast over short timescales using machine learning techniques
A. Turchi, E. Masciadri, L. Fini
Forecast of optical turbulence and atmospheric parameters relevant for ground-based astronomy is becoming an important goal for telescope planning and AO instruments optimization i…
The GAPS Programme at TNG XXI -- A GIARPS case-study of known young planetary candidates: confirmation of HD 285507 b and refutation of AD Leo b
I. Carleo, L. Malavolta, A. F. Lanza +67
The existence of hot Jupiters is still not well understood. Two main channels are thought to be responsible for their current location: a smooth planet migration through the proto-…
GIARPS@TNG GIANO-B & HARPS-N together for a wider wavelength range spectroscopy
R. Claudi, S. Benatti, I. Carleo +36
Since 2012, thanks to the installation of the high resolution echelle spectrograph in the optical range HARPS-N, the Italian telescope TNG (La Palma) became one of the key faciliti…
MOSE: optical turbulence and atmospherical parameters operational forecast at ESO ground-based sites. I: Overview and atmospherical parameters vertical stratification on [0-20] km
E. Masciadri, F. Lascaux, L. Fini
We present the overview of the MOSE project (MOdeling ESO Sites) aiming at proving the feasibility of the forecast of the classical atmospherical parameters (wind speed intensity a…
ExoClock Project IV: A homogeneous catalogue of 620 updated exoplanet ephemerides
A. Kokori, A. Tsiaras, G. Pantelidou +323
The ExoClock project is an open platform aiming to monitor exoplanets by integrating observations from space and ground based telescopes. This study presents an updated catalogue o…
The absolute age of the globular cluster M15 using near-infrared adaptive optics images from PISCES/LBT
M. Monelli, V. Testa, G. Bono +26
We present deep near-infrared (NIR) J, Ks photometry of the old, metal-poor Galactic globular cluster M\,15 obtained with images collected with the LUCI1 and PISCES cameras availab…
LBT observations of the HR 8799 planetary system: First detection of HR8799e in H band
S. Esposito, D. Mesa, A. Skemer +33
We have performed H and Ks band observations of the planetary system around HR 8799 using the new AO system at the Large Binocular Telescope and the PISCES Camera. The excellent in…
High Resolution Images of Orbital Motion in the Orion Trapezium Cluster with the LBT Adaptive Optics System
L. M. Close, A. Puglisi, J. R. Males +28
The new 8.4m LBT adaptive secondary AO system, with its novel pyramid wavefront sensor, was used to produce very high Strehl (75% at 2.16 microns) near infrared narrowband (Br gamm…
GIARPS: commissioning and first scientific results
R. Claudi, S. Benatti, I. Carleo +41
GIARPS (GIAno \& haRPS) is a project devoted to have on the same focal station of the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG) both high resolution spectrographs, HARPS-N (VIS) and GIANO…
Multi-band high resolution spectroscopy rules out the hot Jupiter BD+20 1790b - First data from the GIARPS Commissioning
I. Carleo, S. Benatti, A. F. Lanza +51
Context. Stellar activity is currently challenging the detection of young planets via the radial velocity (RV) technique. Aims. We attempt to definitively discriminate the nature o…
