The ESPRI project: astrometric exoplanet search with PRIMA I. Instrument description and performance of first light observations
J. Sahlmann, T. Henning, D. Queloz +42
The ESPRI project relies on the astrometric capabilities offered by the PRIMA facility of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer for the discovery and study of planetary systems.…
Calibration strategies for the LAD instrument on-board LOFT
Luigi Pacciani, Paolo Soffitta, Andrea Argan +12
The Scientific objectives of the LOFT mission, e.g., the study of the Neutron Star equation of state and of the Strong Gravity, require accurate energy, time and flux calibration f…
The LOFT Wide Field Monitor simulator
I. Donnarumma, Y. Evangelista, R. Campana +6
We present the simulator we developed for the Wide Field Monitor (WFM) aboard the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing (LOFT) mission, one of the four ESA M3 candidate missions consi…
Narrow-angle astrometry with PRIMA
J. Sahlmann, D. Ségransan, A. Mérand +16
The Extrasolar Planet Search with PRIMA project (ESPRI) aims at characterising and detecting extrasolar planets by measuring the host star's reflex motion using the narrow-angle as…
