Daytime seeing variations in Paranal through a SHABAR system. Description of the method and first measurements from the PoET solar telescope
A. M. Silva, B. Wehbe, A. Oliveira +8
Aims. In this paper we present the software and first seeing measurements from a SHAdow Band Ranger (SHABAR) system that is coupled with the recently comissioned PoET solar telesco…
PoET: the Paranal solar ESPRESSO Telescope
Nuno C. Santos, Alexandre Cabral, Inês Leite +42
The detection and characterisation of other "Earths", orbiting other suns, is a bold objective of present-day astrophysics. However, this quest is severely challenged by astrophysi…
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…
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…
ESPRESSO: The next European exoplanet hunter
F. Pepe, P. Molaro, S. Cristiani +55
The acronym ESPRESSO stems for Echelle SPectrograph for Rocky Exoplanets and Stable Spectroscopic Observations; this instrument will be the next VLT high resolution spectrograph. T…
