A search for a 5th planet around HR 8799 using the star-hopping RDI technique at VLT/SPHERE
Z. Wahhaj, J. Milli, C. Romero +8
The direct imaging of extrasolar giant planets demands the highest possible contrasts (dH ~10 magnitudes) at the smallest angular separations (~0.1'') from the star. We present an…
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…
Performance of the extreme-AO instrument VLT/SPHERE and dependence on the atmospheric conditions
J. Milli, D. Mouillet, T. Fusco +10
SPHERE is the high-contrast exoplanet imager and spectrograph installed at the Unit Telescope 3 of the Very Large Telescope. After more than two years of regular operations, we ana…
L'-band AGPM vector vortex coronagraph's first light on VLT/NACO: Discovery of a late-type companion at two beamwidths from an F0V star
D. Mawet, O. Absil, C. Delacroix +20
Context. High contrast imaging has thoroughly combed through the limited search space accessible with first-generation ground-based adaptive optics instruments and the Hubble Space…
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…
