Progress on FORS-Up: the first instrument using ELT technologies
H. M. J. Boffin, V. Baldini, S. Bertocco +21
ESO is in the process of upgrading one of the two FORS (FOcal Reducer/low dispersion Spectrograph) instruments - a multi-mode (imaging, polarimetry, long-slit, and multi-object spe…
CRIRES on sky at the ESO Very Large Telescope
R. J. Dorn, P. Bristow, J. V. Smoker +49
The CRyogenic InfraRed Echelle Spectrograph (CRIRES) Upgrade project CRIRES extended the capabilities of CRIRES. It transformed this VLT instrument into a cross-dispersed spe…
Detector Systems Engineering for Extremely Large Instruments
Elizabeth M. George, Naidu Bezawada, Derek Ives +22
The scientific detector systems for the ESO ELT first-light instruments, HARMONI, MICADO, and METIS, together will require 27 science detectors: seventeen 2.5 m cutoff H4RG-15 d…
ESPRESSO high resolution transmission spectroscopy of WASP-76b
H. M. Tabernero, M. R. Zapatero Osorio, R. Allart +87
Aims. We report on ESPRESSO high-resolution transmission spectroscopic observations of two primary transits of the highly-irradiated, ultra-hot Jupiter-size planet WASP-76b. We inv…
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…
A precise architecture characterization of the Men planetary system
M. Damasso, A. Sozzetti, C. Lovis +97
The bright star Men was chosen as the first target for a radial velocity follow-up to test the performance of ESPRESSO, the new high-resolution spectrograph at the ESO's Very-L…
Characterization of the K2-38 planetary system. Unraveling one of the densest planets known to date
B. Toledo-Padrón, C. Lovis, A. Suárez Mascareño +90
We characterized the transiting planetary system orbiting the G2V star K2-38 using the new-generation echelle spectrograph ESPRESSO. We carried out a photometric analysis of the av…
Revisiting Proxima with ESPRESSO
A. Suárez Mascareño, J. P. Faria, P. Figueira +88
We aim to confirm the presence of Proxima b using independent measurements obtained with the new ESPRESSO spectrograph, and refine the planetary parameters taking advantage of its…
Nightside condensation of iron in an ultra-hot giant exoplanet
David Ehrenreich, Christophe Lovis, Romain Allart +94
Ultra-hot giant exoplanets receive thousands of times Earth's insolation. Their high-temperature atmospheres (>2,000 K) are ideal laboratories for studying extreme planetary climat…
