Near-IR Spectrograph for VSI (VLTI Spectro Imager): dispersing the light from an integrated optics beam-combiner
D. Lorenzetti, G. Li Causi, R. Speziali +7
We present the optical and cryo-mechanical solutions for the Spectrograph of VSI (VLTI Spectro-Imager), the second generation near-infrared (J, H and K bands) interferometric instr…
Disk and wind interaction in the young stellar object MWC 297 spatially resolved with VLTI/AMBER
F. Malbet, M. Benisty, W. J. De Wit +15
The young stellar object MWC 297 has been observed with the VLT interferometer equipped with the AMBER instrument. MWC 297 has been spatially resolved in the continuum with a visib…
The Skysoft Project
C. Baffa, E. Giani, A. Checcucci
We present the Skysoft project (http://www.skysoft.org). Skysoft is a YAASD (Yet Another Astronomical Software Directory), but with a different overall approach. To be useful, Skys…
A Young Very Low-Mass Object surrounded by warm dust
L. Testi, A. Natta, E. Oliva +5
We present a complete low-resolution (R~100) near-infrared spectrum of the substellar object GY11, member of the rho-Ophiuchi young association. The object is remarkable because of…
Transmission curves and effective refraction indices of MKO near infrared consortium filters at cryogenic temperatures
F. Ghinassi, J. Licandro, E. Oliva +5
We report transmission measurements at cryogenic temperatures for 4 broad-band filters of the Mauna Kea Observatories (MKO) near-infrared filter set and 5 narrow-band filters. The…
The relative abundances of ellipticals and starbursts among the Extremely Red Galaxies
F. Mannucci, L. Pozzetti, D. Thompson +5
We present J band observations of a complete sample of 57 red galaxies selected to have K<20 and R-K>5.3. We use the Pozzetti and Mannucci (2000) prescriptions, based on the R-K an…
The TNG Near Infrared Camera Spectrometer
C. Baffa, G. Comoretto, S. Gennari +14
NICS (acronym for Near Infrared Camera Spectrometer) is the near-infrared cooled camera-spectrometer that has been developed by the Arcetri Infrared Group at the Arcetri Astrophysi…
Discovery of strong CIV absorption in the highest redshift quasar
R. Maiolino, F. Mannucci, C. Baffa +2
We report the near-IR detection of a prominent CIV absorption in the rest-frame UV spectrum of the most distant known QSO, SDSS J104433.04-012502.2, at z=5.80. This QSO was recentl…
NICS-TNG infrared spectroscopy of NGC1068: the first extragalactic measurement of [PII] and a new tool to constrain the origin of [FeII] line emission in galaxies
E. Oliva, A. Marconi, R. Maiolino +19
We report 0.9-1.4 micron spectroscopic observations of NGC1068 collected during the commissioning phase of the near infrared camera spectrometer (NICS) of the Telescopio Nazionale…
Northern JHK Standard Stars for Array Detectors
L. K. Hunt, F. Mannucci, L. Testi +5
We report J, H and K photometry of 86 stars in 40 fields in the northern hemisphere. The fields are smaller than or comparable to a 4x4 arcmin field-of-view, and are roughly unifor…
LonGSp: the Gornergrat Longslit Infrared Spectrometer
L. Vanzi, M. Sozzi, G. Marcucci +8
We present a near-infrared cooled grating spectrometer that has been developed at the Arcetri Astrophysical Observatory for the 1.5 m Infrared Telescope at Gornergrat (TIRGO). The…
