An analysis of four stellar rings
E. Paunzen, J. Florian, A. Gütl-Wallner +9
About 50 years ago, one thousand ring-like structures (called stellar-rings) were discovered by Isserstedt (1968). They were believed to be groups of young stars formed by shell-li…
The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: off-axis performance of PSF reconstruction
Matteo Simioni, Daniel Jodlbauer, Carmelo Arcidiacono +14
The highest scientific return, for adaptive optics (AO) observations, is achieved with a reliable reconstruction of the PSF. This is especially true for MICADO@ELT. In this present…
VISIONS: The VISTA Star Formation Atlas -- I. Survey overview
Stefan Meingast, João Alves, Hervé Bouy +37
VISIONS is an ESO public survey of five nearby (d < 500 pc) star-forming molecular cloud complexes that are canonically associated with the constellations of Chamaeleon, Corona Aus…
The ESO's Extremely Large Telescope Working Groups
Paolo Padovani, Michele Cirasuolo, Remco van der Burg +82
Since 2005 ESO has been working with its community and industry to develop an extremely large optical/infrared telescope. ESO's Extremely Large Telescope, or ELT for short, is a re…
ScopeSim: A flexible general purpose astronomical instrument data simulation framework in Python
Kieran Leschinski, Hugo Buddelmeijer, Oliver Czoske +3
ScopeSim is a flexible multipurpose instrument data simulation framework built in Python. It enables both raw and reduced observation data to be simulated for a wide range of teles…
Data model as agile basis for evolving calibration software
Hugo Buddelmeijer, Gijs A. Verdoes Kleijn, Kieran Leschinski
We design the imaging data calibration and reduction software for MICADO, the First Light near-IR instrument on the Extremely Large Telescope. In this process we have hit the limit…
AnisoCADO: a python package for analytically generating adaptive optics point spread functions for the Extremely Large Telescope
Kieran Leschinski, Eric Gendron
AnisoCADO is a Python package for generating images of the point spread function (PSF) for the european extremely large telescope (ELT). The code allows the user to set many of the…
The Initial Mass Function in the ELT era
Kieran Leschinski, João Alves
The initial mass function (IMF) is an important, yet enigmatic aspect of the star formation process. The two major open questions regarding the IMF are: is the IMF constant regardl…
The Future of IMF studies with the ELT and MICADO I: The local Universe as a resolved IMF laboratory
Kieran Leschinski, João Alves
Aims. In this work we aim to estimate the lowest stellar mass that MICADO at the ELT will be able to reliably detect given a stellar density and distance. We also show that instrum…
3D shape of Orion A from Gaia DR2
Josefa E. Grossschedl, Joao Alves, Stefan Meingast +16
We use the DR2 distances of about 700 mid-infrared selected young stellar objects in the benchmark giant molecular cloud Orion A to infer its 3D shape and orientati…
The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: overview, operation, simulation
Richard Davies, João Alves, Yann Clénet +98
MICADO will enable the ELT to perform diffraction limited near-infrared observations at first light. The instrument's capabilities focus on imaging (including astrometric and high…
Magrathea: Dust growth experiment in micro-gravity conditions
André G. C. Guerra, Adrián Banos García, Adrián Castanón Esteban +14
One of the least understood processes in astrophysics is the formation of planetesimals from molecules and dust within protoplanetary disks. In fact, current methods have strong li…
SimCADO - an instrument data simulator package for MICADO at the E-ELT
Kieran Leschinski, Oliver Czoske, Rainer Köhler +6
MICADO will be the first-light wide-field imager for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) and will provide difiraction limited imaging (7mas at 1.2mm) over a ~53 arcsecon…
MICADO: first light imager for the E-ELT
R. Davies, J. Schubert, M. Hartl +80
MICADO will equip the E-ELT with a first light capability for diffraction limited imaging at near-infrared wavelengths. The instrument's observing modes focus on various flavours o…
Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): Mid-Infrared Properties and Empirical Relations from
M. E. Cluver, T. H. Jarrett, A. M. Hopkins +22
The Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey furnishes a deep redshift catalog that, when combined with the Wide-field Infrared Explorer (), allows us to explore for the first…
