Scheduling Ground-Based Telescope Observations with Uncertain Nights
Thomas Rahab Lacroix, Pierre Lemaire, Anne-Marie Lagrange +2
The observation of celestial objects is a fundamental activity in astronomy. Ground-based and space telescopes are used to gather electromagnetic radiation from space, allowing ast…
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…
Turbulence nowcast for the Cerro Paranal and Cerro Armazones observatory sites
Julien Milli, Tomás Rojas, Benjamin Courtney-Barrer +4
Optical turbulence affects significantly the quality of ground-based astronomical observations. An accurate and reliable forecast of optical turbulence can help to optimise the sch…
Nowcasting the turbulence at the Paranal Observatory
J. Milli, R. Gonzalez, P. R. Fluxa +13
At Paranal Observatory, the least predictable parameter affecting the short-term scheduling of astronomical observations is the optical turbulence, especially the seeing, coherence…
Optical turbulence profiling with Stereo-SCIDAR for VLT and ELT
J. Osborn, R. W. Wilson, M. Sarazin +11
Knowledge of the Earth's atmospheric optical turbulence is critical for astronomical instrumentation. Not only does it enable performance verification and optimisation of existing…
Detection and Implications of Laser-Induced Raman Scattering at Astronomical Observatories
F. P. A. Vogt, D. Bonaccini Calia, W. Hackenberg +14
(Abr.) Laser guide stars employed at astronomical observatories provide artificial wavefront reference sources to help correct (in part) the impact of atmospheric turbulence on ast…
