The Fifteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release of MaNGA Derived Quantities, Data Visualization Tools and Stellar Library
D. S. Aguado, Romina Ahumada, Andres Almeida +230
Twenty years have passed since first light for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Here, we release data taken by the fourth phase of SDSS (SDSS-IV) across its first three years o…
O2 signature in thin and thick O2-H2O ices
B. Müller, B. M. Giuliano, L. Bizzocchi +2
Aims. In this paper we investigate the detectability of the molecular oxygen in icy dust grain mantles towards astronomical objects. Methods. We present a systematic set of experim…
Absolute reflectance of a concave mirror used for astro-particle physics experiments
Razmik Mirzoyan, Cornelia Arcaro, Hanna Kellermann +1
The absolute reflectance of a reflector and its point spread function are the key parameters of a telescope for measuring light flux. Typically, one is using low-cost technologies…
Radio Galaxy Detection in the Visibility Domain
Adam Malyali, Marzia Rivi, Filipe B. Abdalla +1
We explore a new Bayesian method of detecting galaxies from radio interferometric data of the faint sky. Working in the Fourier domain, we fit a single, parameterised galaxy model…
Magnetic shielding of soft protons in future X-ray telescopes: the case of the ATHENA Wide Field Imager
Valentina Fioretti, Andrea Bulgarelli, Silvano Molendi +10
Both the interplanetary space and the Earth magnetosphere are populated by low energy ( keV) protons that are potentially able to scatter on the reflecting surface of Wolt…
The MICADO first light imager for ELT: its astrometric performance
J. -U. Pott, G. Rodeghiero, H. Riechert +4
We report on our ongoing efforts to ensure that the MICADO NIR imager reaches differential absolute (often abbreviated: relative) astrometric performance limited by the SNR of typi…
ERIS: revitalising an adaptive optics instrument for the VLT
Richard Davies, Simone Esposito, Hans Martin Schmid +63
ERIS is an instrument that will both extend and enhance the fundamental diffraction limited imaging and spectroscopy capability for the VLT. It will replace two instruments that ar…
XZ: Deriving redshifts from X-ray spectra of obscured AGN
Charlotte Simmonds, Johannes Buchner, Mara Salvato +2
Context: Redshifts are fundamental for our understanding of extragalactic X-ray sources. Ambiguous counterpart associations, expensive optical spectroscopy and/or multimission mult…
SAGE: using CubeSats for Gravitational Wave Detection
S. Lacour, M. Nowak, P. Bourget +7
SAGE (SagnAc interferometer for Gravitational wavE) is a fast track project for a space observatory based on multiple 12-U CubeSats in geostationary orbit. The objective of this pr…
The GRAVITY fringe tracker: correlation between optical path residuals and atmospheric parameters
S. Lacour, R. Dembet, R. Abuter +8
After the first year of observations with the GRAVITY fringe tracker, we compute correlations between the optical path residuals and atmospheric and astronomical parameters. The me…
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…
Star-galaxy classification in the Dark Energy Survey Y1 dataset
I. Sevilla-Noarbe, B. Hoyle, M. J. Marchã +75
We perform a comparison of different approaches to star-galaxy classification using the broad-band photometric data from Year 1 of the Dark Energy Survey. This is done by performin…
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…
Design study and first performance simulation of the ELT/MICADO focal plane coronagraphs
Clément Perrot, Pierre Baudoz, Anthony Boccaletti +5
In this paper, we present the design and the expected performance of the classical Lyot coronagraph for the high contrast imaging modes of the wide-field imager MICADO. MICADO is a…
Overview of the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys
Arjun Dey, David J. Schlegel, Dustin Lang +157
The DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys are a combination of three public projects (the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey, the Beijing-Arizona Sky Survey, and the Mayall z-band Legacy Surve…
Optimizing spectroscopic follow-up strategies for supernova photometric classification with active learning
E. E. O. Ishida, R. Beck, S. Gonzalez-Gaitan +10
We report a framework for spectroscopic follow-up design for optimizing supernova photometric classification. The strategy accounts for the unavoidable mismatch between spectroscop…
SPICA - a large cryogenic infrared space telescope Unveiling the obscured Universe
