Collision Avoidance in Next-generation Fiber Positioner Robotic System for Large Survey Spectrograph
Laleh Makarem, Jean-Paul Kneib, Denis Gillet +5
Some of the next generation massive spectroscopic survey projects, such as DESI and PFS, plan to use thousands of fiber positioner robots packed at a focal plane to quickly move in…
Measuring galaxy [OII] emission line doublet with future ground-based wide-field spectroscopic surveys
Johan Comparat, Jean-Paul Kneib, Roland Bacon +4
The next generation of wide-field spectroscopic redshift surveys will map the large-scale galaxy distribution in the redshift range 0.7< z<2 to measure baryonic acoustic oscillatio…
Performances tests on the SPHERE-IFS
Dino Mesa, Raffaele Gratton, Riccardo U. Claudi +13
Until now, just a few extrasolar planets (~30 out of 860) have been found through the direct imaging method. This number should greatly improve when the next generation of High Con…
Astropy: A Community Python Package for Astronomy
The Astropy Collaboration, Thomas P. Robitaille, Erik J. Tollerud +42
We present the first public version (v0.2) of the open-source and community-developed Python package, Astropy. This package provides core astronomy-related functionality to the com…
IRDIS, the dual-band imager camera of SPHERE: testing the performances in laboratory
A. Zurlo, A. Vigan, C. Moutou +12
Next year the second generation instrument SPHERE will begin science operations at the Very Large Telecope (ESO). This instrument will be dedicated to the search for exoplanets thr…
The Tenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the SDSS-III Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment
Christopher P. Ahn, Rachael Alexandroff, Carlos Allende Prieto +232
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has been in operation since 2000 April. This paper presents the tenth public data release (DR10) from its current incarnation, SDSS-III. This da…
Observing Extended Sources with the \Herschel SPIRE Fourier Transform Spectrometer
Ronin Wu, Edward T. Polehampton, Mireya Etxaluze +20
The Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) on the European Space Agency's Herschel Space Observatory utilizes a pioneering design for its imaging spectrometer in the for…
Estimation and correction of wavefront aberrations using the self-coherent camera: laboratory results
J. Mazoyer, P. Baudoz, R. Galicher +2
Direct imaging of exoplanets requires very high contrast levels, which are obtained using coronagraphs. But residual quasi-static aberrations create speckles in the focal plane dow…
Calibration of quasi-static aberrations in exoplanet direct-imaging instruments with a Zernike phase-mask sensor
M. N'Diaye, K. Dohlen, T. Fusco +1
Context. Several exoplanet direct imaging instruments will soon be in operation. They use an extreme adaptive optics (XAO) system to correct the atmospheric turbulence and provide…
Apodization in high-contrast long-slit spectroscopy. Closer, deeper, fainter, cooler
A. Vigan, M. N'Diaye, K. Dohlen
The spectroscopy of faint planetary-mass companions to nearby stars is one of the main challenges that new-generation high-contrast spectro-imagers are going to face. In a previous…
Instrumental Methods for Professional and Amateur Collaborations in Planetary Astronomy
O. Mousis, R. Hueso, J. -P. Beaulieu +57
Amateur contributions to professional publications have increased exponentially over the last decades in the field of Planetary Astronomy. Here we review the different domains of t…
On-sky characterisation of the VISTA NB118 narrow-band filters at 1.19 micron
B. Milvang-Jensen, W. Freudling, J. Zabl +9
Observations of the high redshift Universe through narrow-band filters have proven very successful in the last decade. The 4-meter VISTA telescope, equipped with the wide-field cam…
Optical Design and Active Optics Methods in Astronomy
Gerard R. Lemaitre
Optical designs for astronomy involve implementation of active optics and adaptive optics from X-ray to the infrared. Developments and results of active optics methods for telescop…
Coronagraphic phase diversity: performance study and laboratory demonstration
B. Paul, L. M. Mugnier, J. -F. Sauvage
The final performance of current and future instruments dedicated to exoplanet detection and characterization (such as SPHERE on the European Very Large Telescope, GPI on Gemini No…
