Gaia Data Release 2: Properties and validation of the radial velocities
D. Katz, P. Sartoretti, M. Cropper +51
For Gaia DR2 (GDR2), 280 million spectra, collected by the RVS instrument on-board Gaia, were processed and median radial velocities were derived for 9.8 million sources brighter t…
Gaia Radial Velocity Spectrometer
M. Cropper, D. Katz, P. Sartoretti +40
This paper presents the specification, design, and development of the Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) on the European Space Agency's Gaia mission. Starting with the rationale fo…
The self-coherent camera as a focal plane fine phasing sensor
Pierre Janin-Potiron, Patrice Martinez, Pierre Baudoz +1
Direct imaging of Earth-like exoplanets requires high contrast imaging capability and high angular resolution. Primary mirror segmentation is a key technological solution for large…
Experimental demonstration of binary shaped pupil mask coronagraphs for telescopes with obscured pupils
Kanae Haze, Keigo Enya, Lyu Abe +3
We present the fabrication and experimental demonstration of three free-standing binary shaped pupil mask coronagraphs, which are applicable for telescopes with partially obscured…
Interferometry concepts
Florentin Millour
This paper serves as an introduction to the current book. It provides the basic notions of long-baseline optical/infrared interferome-try prior to reading all the subsequent chapte…
First low frequency all-sky search for continuous gravitational wave signals
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +921
In this paper we present the results of the first low frequency all-sky search of continuous gravitational wave signals conducted on Virgo VSR2 and VSR4 data. The search covered th…
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE)
Steven R. Majewski, Ricardo P. Schiavon, Peter M. Frinchaboy +75
The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), one of the programs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III), has now completed its systematic, homogeneo…
The LOFAR Multifrequency Snapshot Sky Survey (MSSS) I. Survey description and first results
G. H. Heald, R. F. Pizzo, E. Orrú +147
We present the Multifrequency Snapshot Sky Survey (MSSS), the first northern-sky LOFAR imaging survey. In this introductory paper, we first describe in detail the motivation and de…
Thermalizing a telescope in Antarctica: Analysis of ASTEP observations
Tristan Guillot, Lyu Abe, Abdelkrim Agabi +13
The installation and operation of a telescope in Antarctica represent particular challenges, in particular the requirement to operate at extremely cold temperatures, to cope with r…
The Gaia-ESO Survey: Empirical determination of the precision of stellar radial velocities and projected rotation velocities
R. J. Jackson, R. D. Jeffries, J. Lewis +58
The Gaia-ESO Survey (GES) is a large public spectroscopic survey at the European Southern Observatory Very Large Telescope. A key aim is to provide precise radial velocities (RVs)…
The Eleventh and Twelfth Data Releases of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Final Data from SDSS-III
Shadab Alam, Franco D. Albareti, Carlos Allende Prieto +271
The third generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-III) took data from 2008 to 2014 using the original SDSS wide-field imager, the original and an upgraded multi-object fib…
The LAUE project and its main results
E. Virgilli, F. Frontera, V. Valsan +24
We will describe the LAUE project, supported by the Italian Space Agency, whose aim is to demonstrate the capability to build a focusing optics in the hard X-/soft gamma-ray domain…
