Optical turbulence: site selection above the internal Antarctic plateau with a mesoscale model
E. Masciadri, F. Lascaux, S. Hagelin +2
Atmospherical mesoscale models can offer unique potentialities to characterize and discriminate potential astronomical sites. Our team has recently completely validated the Meso-Nh…
Mt. Graham: Optical turbulence vertical distribution at standard and high vertical resolution
E. Masciadri, J. Stoesz, S. Hagelin +3
A characterization of the optical turbulence vertical distribution and all the main integrated astroclimatic parameters derived from the CN2 and the wind speed profiles above Mt. G…
A dedicated tool for a full 3D Cn2 investigation
Franck Lascaux, Elena Masciadri, Susanna Hagelin
We present in this study a mapping of the optical turbulence (OT) above different astronomical sites. The mesoscale model Meso-NH was used together with the Astro-Meso-Nh package a…
Mesoscale optical turbulence simulations above Dome C, Dome A and South Pole
Franck Lascaux, Elena Masciadri, Susanna Hagelin
In two recent papers the mesoscale model Meso-NH, joint with the Astro-Meso-NH package, has been validated at Dome C, Antarctica, for the characterization of the optical turbulence…
A precise asteroseismic age and radius for the evolved Sun-like star KIC 11026764
T. S. Metcalfe, M. J. P. F. G. Monteiro, M. J. Thompson +55
The primary science goal of the Kepler Mission is to provide a census of exoplanets in the solar neighborhood, including the identification and characterization of habitable Earth-…
An update of the on-sky performance of the Layer-Oriented wave-front sensor for MAD
Carmelo Arcidiacono, Matteo Lombini, Alessia Moretti +5
The Multi-conjugate Adaptive optics Demonstrator, MAD, successfully demonstrated on sky the MCAO technique both in Layer Oriented and Star Oriented modes. As results of the Guarant…
