FORS-Up: Making the most versatile instrument in Paranal ready for 15 more years of operations
H. M. J. Boffin, F. Derie, A. Manescau +12
The FORS Upgrade project (FORS-Up) aims at bringing a new life to the highly demanded workhorse instrument attached to ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT). FORS2 is a multimode optica…
Progress and tests on the Instrument Control Electronics for SOXS
M. Colapietro, G. Capasso, S. D'Orsi +46
The forthcoming SOXS (Son Of X-Shooter) will be a new spectroscopic facility for the ESO New Technology Telescope in La Silla, focused on transient events and able to cover both th…
Fundamental physics with Espresso: Towards an accurate wavelength calibration for a precision test of the fine-structure constant
Tobias M. Schmidt, Paolo Molaro, Michael T. Murphy +56
Observations of metal absorption systems in the spectra of distant quasars allow to constrain a possible variation of the fine-structure constant throughout the history of the Univ…
HIRES, the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT
Alessandro Marconi, Manuel Abreu, Vardan Adibekyan +99
HIRES will be the high-resolution spectrograph of the European Extremely Large Telescope at optical and near-infrared wavelengths. It consists of three fibre-fed spectrographs prov…
ESPRESSO@VLT -- On-sky performance and first results
F. Pepe, S. Cristiani, R. Rebolo +97
ESPRESSO is the new high-resolution spectrograph of ESO's Very-Large Telescope (VLT). It was designed for ultra-high radial-velocity precision and extreme spectral fidelity with th…
Performance and energy footprint assessment of FPGAs and GPUs on HPC systems using Astrophysics application
David Goz, Georgios Ieronymakis, Vassilis Papaefstathiou +7
New challenges in Astronomy and Astrophysics (AA) are urging the need for a large number of exceptionally computationally intensive simulations. "Exascale" (and beyond) computation…
