Band-Pass and OH-Suppression Filters for the E-ELT - Design and Prototyping
S. Guenster, D. Ristau, R. Davies
Optical filters are used for a variety of purposes at astronomical telescopes. In the near infrared region, from 0.8 to 2.5 um, bandpass and edge filters are used to separate the d…
PIRATE: A Remotely-Operable Telescope Facility for Research and Education
S. Holmes, U. Kolb, C. A. Haswell +6
We introduce PIRATE, a new remotely-operable telescope facility for use in research and education, constructed from 'off-the-shelf' hardware, operated by The Open University. We fo…
The Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT)
M. Feroci, the LOFT Consortium
High-time-resolution X-ray observations of compact objects provide direct access to strong-field gravity, to the equation of state of ultra-dense matter and to black hole masses an…
Molecular photodissociation
Ewine F. van Dishoeck, Ruud Visser
Photodissociation is the dominant removal process of molecules in any region exposed to intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This includes diffuse and translucent interstellar cloud…
An E-ELT Case Study: Colour-Magnitude Diagrams of an Old Galaxy in the Virgo Cluster
A. Deep, G. Fiorentino, E. Tolstoy +5
One of the key science goals for a diffraction limited imager on an Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) is the resolution of individual stars down to faint limits in distant galaxies.…
ORIGIN: Metal Creation and Evolution from the Cosmic Dawn
J. W. den Herder, L. Piro, T. Ohashi +156
ORIGIN is a proposal for the M3 mission call of ESA aimed at the study of metal creation from the epoch of cosmic dawn. Using high-spectral resolution in the soft X-ray band, ORIGI…
