CASTLE: performances and science cases
S. Lombardo, F. Prada, E. Hugot +23
We present here the Calar Alto Schmidt-Lemaitre Telescope (CASTLE) concept, a technology demonstrator for curved detectors, that will be installed at the Calar Alto Observatory (Sp…
Active optics in astronomy - Freeform mirror for the MESSIER telescope proposal
Gerard Lemaitre, Pascal Vola, Eduard Muslimov
Active optics techniques in astronomy provide high imaging quality. This paper is dedicated to highly deformable active optics that can generate non-axisymmetric aspheric surfaces-…
Opto-mechanical designs for the HARMONI Adaptive Optics systems
Kjetil Dohlen, Timothy Morris, Javier Piqueras Lopez +14
HARMONI is a visible and near-infrared integral field spectrograph equipped with two complementary adaptive optics systems, fully integrated within the instrument. A Single Conjuga…
The adaptive optics modes for HARMONI: from Classical to Laser Assisted Tomographic AO
B. Neichel, T. Fusco, J. -F. Sauvage +25
HARMONI is a visible and NIR integral field spectrograph, providing the E-ELT's core spectroscopic capability at first light. HARMONI will work at the diffraction limit of the E-EL…
A fast, wide-field and distortion-free telescope with curved detectors for surveys at ultra-low surface brightness
Eduard Muslimov, David Valls-Gabaud, Gérard Lemaître +6
We present the design of an all-reflective, bi-folded Schmidt telescope aimed at surveys of extended astronomical objects with extremely-low surface brightness. The design leads to…
X-shooter, the new wide band intermediate resolution spectrograph at the ESO Very Large Telescope
Joel Vernet, H. Dekker, S. D'Odorico +87
X-shooter is the first 2nd generation instrument of the ESO Very Large Telescope(VLT). It is a very efficient, single-target, intermediate-resolution spectrograph that was installe…
EAGLE ISS - A modular twin-channel integral-field near-IR spectrograph
P. R. Hastings, B. Stobie, S. Vives +3
The ISS (Integral-field Spectrograph System) has been designed as part of the EAGLE Phase A Instrument Study for the E-ELT. It consists of two input channels of 1.65x1.65 arcsec fi…
