Do galaxy mergers form elliptical galaxies? A comparison of kinematic and photometric properties
P. A. James, C. Bate, M. Wells +2
We present near-IR K-band imaging and spectroscopy of a sample of galaxy mergers, which we use to derive light profile indices, absolute magnitudes and central velocity dispersions…
Profile of the U 5f magnetization in U/Fe multilayers
S. D. Brown, L. Bouchenoire, P. Thompson +10
Recent calculations, concerning the magnetism of uranium in the U/Fe multilayer system have described the spatial dependence of the 5f polarization that might be expected. We have…
MOONS: a Multi-Object Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph for the VLT
M. Cirasuolo, J. Afonso, R. Bender +77
MOONS is a new conceptual design for a Multi-Object Optical and Near-infrared Spectrograph for the Very Large Telescope (VLT), selected by ESO for a Phase A study. The baseline des…
The nature of the close magnetic white dwarf + probable brown dwarf binary SDSS J121209.31+013627.7
M. R. Burleigh, T. R. Marsh, B. T. Gansicke +16
Optical time series photometry of the short period magnetic white dwarf + probable brown dwarf binary SDSS 121209.31+013627.7 reveals pulse-like variability in all bands from i' to…
CUBES, the Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph
S. Cristiani, J. M. Alcalá, S. H. P. Alencar +74
In the era of Extremely Large Telescopes, the current generation of 8-10m facilities are likely to remain competitive at ground-UV wavelengths for the foreseeable future. The Casse…
Multi-Object Spectroscopy with the European ELT: Scientific synergies between EAGLE & EVE
C. J. Evans, B. Barbuy, P. Bonifacio +29
The EAGLE and EVE Phase A studies for instruments for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) originated from related top-level scientific questions, but employed different…
The Mid-Infrared Instrument for the James Webb Space Telescope, III: MIRIM, The MIRI Imager
P. Bouchet, M. Garcia-Marin, P. -O. Lagage +34
In this article, we describe the MIRI Imager module (MIRIM), which provides broad-band imaging in the 5 - 27 microns wavelength range for the James Webb Space Telescope. The imager…
CUBES: a UV spectrograph for the future
S. Covino, S. Cristiani, J. M. Alcala' +86
In spite of the advent of extremely large telescopes in the UV/optical/NIR range, the current generation of 8-10m facilities is likely to remain competitive at ground-UV wavelength…
EAGLE ISS - A modular twin-channel integral-field near-IR spectrograph
P. R. Hastings, B. Stobie, S. Vives +3
The ISS (Integral-field Spectrograph System) has been designed as part of the EAGLE Phase A Instrument Study for the E-ELT. It consists of two input channels of 1.65x1.65 arcsec fi…
