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…
The ESO Science Archive Facility: Status, Impact, and Prospects
Martino Romaniello, Magda Arnaboldi, Mauro Barbieri +14
Scientific data collected at ESO's observatories are freely and openly accessible online through the ESO Science Archive Facility. In addition to the raw data straight out of the i…
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…
Analysing the impact of satellite constellations and ESO's role in supporting the astronomy community
Andrew Williams, Olivier Hainaut, Angel Otarola +2
In the coming decade, up to 100 000 satellites in large constellations could be launched into low Earth orbit. The satellites will introduce a variety of negative impacts on astron…
A Report to ESO Council on the Impact of Satellite Constellations
Andrew Williams, Olivier Hainaut, Angel Otarola +4
Up to 100,000 satellites could be launched into Low Earth Orbit (LEO) in the coming decade. Assuming the two most advanced companies' plans are realised, close to 80,000 satellites…
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…
EChO - Exoplanet Characterisation Observatory
G. Tinetti, J. P. Beaulieu, T. Henning +131
A dedicated mission to investigate exoplanetary atmospheres represents a major milestone in our quest to understand our place in the universe by placing our Solar System in context…
Testing the comet nature of main belt comets. The spectra of 133P/Elst-Pizarro and 176P/LINEAR
J. Licandro, H. Campins, G. P. Tozzi +5
We present the visible spectrum of MBCs 133P/Elst-Pizarro and 176P/LINEAR, as well as three Themis family asteroids: (62) Erato, (379), Huenna and (383) Janina, obtained in 2007 us…
