PROVIDENCE: a ground station for space observation
P. -L. Mayeur, J. -F. Sauvage, T. Fusco +25
PROVIDENCE is an ONERA-led project to install a new-generation optical ground station at the Haute-Provence Observatory (OHP) in South of France. Built around a 2.5-meter aperture,…
Multi-purpose InSTRument for Astronomy at Low-resolution: MISTRAL@OHP
J. Schmitt, C. Adami, M. Dennefeld +31
MISTRAL is the new Faint Object Spectroscopic Camera mounted at the folded Cassegrain focus of the 1.93m telescope of Haute-Provence Observatory. We describe the design and compone…
The surface of (1) Ceres in visible light as seen by Dawn/VIR
B. Rousseau, M. C. De Sanctis, A. Raponi +9
We study the surface of Ceres at visible wavelengths, as observed by the Visible and InfraRed mapping spectrometer (VIR) onboard the Dawn spacecraft, and analyze the variations of…
Apodization in high-contrast long-slit spectroscopy. II. Concept validation and first on-sky results with VLT/SPHERE
A. Vigan, M. N'Diaye, K. Dohlen +20
Spectral characterization of young, giant exoplanets detected by direct imaging is one of the tasks of the new generation of high-contrast imagers. For this purpose, the VLT/SPHERE…
Wide Field Astronomy at Dome C: two IR surveys complementary to SNAP
D. Burgarella, M. Ferrari, T. Fusco +4
Surveys provide a wealth of data to the astronomical community that are used well after their completion. In this paper, we propose a project that would take the maximum benefit of…
How the StarDICE photometric calibration of standard stars can improve cosmological constraints?
T. Souverin, J. Neveu, M. Betoule +16
The number of type Ia supernova (SNe Ia) observations will grow significantly within the next decade, mainly thanks to the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) undertaken by the…
