VSTPOL: making the VST a large survey telescope for optical polarimetry
P. Schipani, S. Covino, F. Snik +30
Since the start of operations in 2011, the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) has been one of the most efficient wide-field imagers in the optical bands. However, in the next years the Ver…
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…
The Sooner: a Large Robotic Telescope
G. Chincarini, M. Zannoni, S. Covino +30
The approach of Observational Astronomy is mainly aimed at the construction of larger aperture telescopes, more sensitive detectors and broader wavelength coverage. Certainly fruit…
The CODEX-ESPRESSO experiment: cosmic dynamics, fundamental physics, planets and much more..
S. Cristiani, G. Avila, P. Bonifacio +36
CODEX, a high resolution, super-stable spectrograph to be fed by the E-ELT, the most powerful telescope ever conceived, will for the first time provide the possibility of directly…
Challenges in optics for Extremely Large Telescope instrumentation
P. Spanò, F. M. Zerbi, C. J. Norrie +15
We describe and summarize the optical challenges for future instrumentation for Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs). Knowing the complex instrumental requirements is crucial for the…
