Nowcasting the turbulence at the Paranal Observatory
J. Milli, R. Gonzalez, P. R. Fluxa +13
At Paranal Observatory, the least predictable parameter affecting the short-term scheduling of astronomical observations is the optical turbulence, especially the seeing, coherence…
L'-band AGPM vector vortex coronagraph's first light on VLT/NACO: Discovery of a late-type companion at two beamwidths from an F0V star
D. Mawet, O. Absil, C. Delacroix +20
Context. High contrast imaging has thoroughly combed through the limited search space accessible with first-generation ground-based adaptive optics instruments and the Hubble Space…
3.3 μm PAH observations of the central kiloparsecs of Centaurus A
L. E. Tacconi-Garman, E. Sturm
Aims. The aim of this work is to further investigate the nature of PAH excitation and emission especially in the context of tracing star formation in a variety of extragalactic env…
Integrated J- and H-band spectra of globular clusters in the LMC: implications for stellar population models and galaxy age dating
Mariya Lyubenova, Harald Kuntschner, Marina Rejkuba +3
(Abridged) The rest-frame near-IR spectra of intermediate age (1-2 Gyr) stellar populations are dominated by carbon based absorption features offering a wealth of information. Yet,…
Integrated K-band spectra of old and intermediate-age globular clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Mariya Lyubenova, Harald Kuntschner, Marina Rejkuba +4
Current stellar population models have arguably the largest uncertainties in the near-IR wavelength range, partly due to a lack of large and well calibrated empirical spectral libr…
NIR spectroscopy of the most massive open cluster in the Galaxy: Westerlund 1
S. Mengel, L. E. Tacconi-Garman
Using ISAAC/VLT, we have obtained individual spectra of all NIR-bright stars in the central 2'x2' of the cluster Westerlund 1 (Wd 1) with a resolution of R~9000 at a central wavele…
