New developments on the Ingot WFS laboratory testing
Tânia Gomes Machado, Simone Di Filippo, Kalyan K. R. Santhakumari +16
The Ingot WFS was designed to overcome some of the challenges present in classical wavefront sensors when they deal with sodium LGSs. This innovative sensor works by sensing the fu…
The integration of the SOXS control electronics towards the PAE
Mirko Colapietro, Sergio D'Orsi, Giulio Capasso +51
SOXS (Son Of X-Shooter) is the new single object spectrograph for the ESO New Technology Telescope (NTT) at the La Silla Observatory, able to cover simultaneously both the UV-VIS a…
The status of the NIR arm of the SOXS Instrument toward the PAE
Fabrizio Vitali, Matteo Genoni, Matteo Aliverti +57
The Son Of X-Shooter (SOXS) is a single object spectrograph, built by an international consortium for the 3.58-m ESO New Technology Telescope at the La Silla Observatory [1]. It of…
Final design of Cerberus, a three-headed instrument for the OARPAF telescope
Davide Ricci, Lorenzo Cabona, Davide Greggio +3
Cerberus will be a new scientific instrument for the alt-az, 1m-class OARPAF telescope in Northern Italy. Currently, the telescope operates with a CCD camera used for imaging and p…
What is your favorite transient event? SOXS is almost ready to observe!
Kalyan Kumar Radhakrishnan Santhakumari, Federico Battaini, Simone Di Filippo +56
The Son Of X-Shooter (SOXS) will be the specialized facility to observe any transient event with a flexible scheduler at the ESO New Technology Telescope (NTT) at La Silla, Chile.…
A facility to evaluate the focusing performance of mirrors for Cherenkov Telescopes
Rodolfo Canestrari, Enrico Giro, Giacomo Bonnoli +6
Cherenkov Telescopes are equipped with optical dishes of large diameter -- in general based on segmented mirrors -- with typical angular resolution of a few arc-minutes. To evaluat…
A 3.9 km baseline intensity interferometry photon counting experiment
Giampiero Naletto, Luca Zampieri, Cesare Barbieri +6
In the last years we have operated two very similar ultrafast photon counting photometers (Iqueye and Aqueye+) on different telescopes. The absolute time accuracy in time tagging t…
SHARK-NIR, the coronagraphic camera for LBT, moving toward construction
Jacopo Farinato, Francesca Bacciotti, Carlo Baffa +37
SHARK-NIR is one of the two coronagraphic instruments proposed for the Large Binocular Telescope. Together with SHARK-VIS (performing coronagraphic imaging in the visible domain),…
Development of the Warm Astrometric Mask for MICADO astrometry calibration
Gabriele Rodeghiero, Miriam Sawczuck, Jörg Uwe Pott +9
The achievement of arcsec relative astrometry with ground-based, near infrared, extremely large telescopes requires a significant endeavour of calibration strategies. In this p…
