Towards a physical understanding of the thermal background in large ground-based telescopes
Leonard Burtscher, Ioannis Politopoulos, Sergio Fernández-Acosta +11
Ground-based thermal-infrared observations have a unique scientific potential, but are also extremely challenging due to the need to accurately subtract the high thermal background…
A Fourier optics approach to evaluate the astrometric performance of MICADO
J. A. van den Born, W. Jellema, R. Navarro +3
We present our investigation into the impact of wavefront errors on high accuracy astrometry using Fourier Optics. MICADO, the upcoming near-IR imaging instrument for the Extremely…
MOSAIC on the ELT: high-multiplex spectroscopy to unravel the physics of stars and galaxies from the dark ages to the present-day
F. Hammer, S. Morris, J. G. Cuby +36
The powerful combination of the cutting-edge multi-object spectrograph MOSAIC with the world largest telescope, the ELT, will allow us to probe deeper into the Universe than was po…
Detection of polarization neutral points in observations of the combined corona and sky during the 21 August 2017 total solar eclipse
Frans Snik, Steven P. Bos, Stefanie A. Brackenhoff +7
We report the results of polarimetric observations of the total solar eclipse of 21 August 2017 from Rexburg, Idaho (USA). We use three synchronized DSLR cameras with polarization…
