LBT/ARGOS adaptive optics observations of z lensed galaxies
M. Perna, M. Curti, G. Cresci +24
Gravitationally lensed systems allow a detailed view of galaxies at high redshift. High spatial- and spectral-resolution measurements of arc-like structures can offer unique constr…
ARGOS at the LBT. Binocular laser guided ground layer adaptive optics
S. Rabien, R. Angel, L. Barl +48
Having completed its commissioning phase, the Advanced Rayleigh guided Ground-layer adaptive Optics System (ARGOS) facility is coming online for scientific observations at the Larg…
Test of Einstein Equivalence Principle for 0-spin and half-integer-spin atoms: Search for spin-gravity coupling effects
M. G. Tarallo, T. Mazzoni, N. Poli +3
We report on a conceptually new test of the equivalence principle performed by measuring the acceleration in Earth's gravity field of two isotopes of strontium atoms, namely, the b…
High resolution morphology and surface photometry of KIG 685 and KIG 895 with ARGOS+LUCI
R. Rampazzo, M. Uslenghi, I. Y. Giorgiev +14
We aim to refine the sample of isolated early-type galaxies in the AMIGA catalogue via high resolution imaging. Here we report the result from a pilot study investigating two candi…
Near-Infrared Observations of Outflows and YSOs in the Massive Star-Forming Region AFGL 5180
S. Crowe, R. Fedriani, J. C. Tan +30
Methods: Broad- and narrow-band imaging of AFGL 5180 was made in the NIR with the LBT, in both seeing-limited ($\sim0.5\arcsec$) and high angular resolution ($\sim0.09\arcsec$) Ada…
The SOUL view of IRAS20126+4104. Kinematics and variability of the H jet from a massive protostar
F. Massi, A. Caratti o Garatti, R. Cesaroni +20
We exploit the increased sensitivity of the recently installed AO SOUL at the LBT to obtain new high-spatial-resolution NIR images of the massive young stellar object IRAS20126+410…
Large-momentum-transfer Bragg interferometer with strontium atoms
T. Mazzoni, X. Zhang, R. Del Aguila +3
We report on the first atom interferometer based on Bragg diffraction in a fountain of alkaline-earth atoms, namely Sr. We demonstrate large momentum transfer to the atoms u…
