The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: off-axis performance of PSF reconstruction
Matteo Simioni, Daniel Jodlbauer, Carmelo Arcidiacono +14
The highest scientific return, for adaptive optics (AO) observations, is achieved with a reliable reconstruction of the PSF. This is especially true for MICADO@ELT. In this present…
ABORAS: polarimetric, 10cm/s RV observations of the Sun as a star
Casper Farret Jentink, Annelies Mortier, Frans Snik +4

Mid-infrared circumstellar emission of the long-period Cepheid l Carinae resolved with VLTI/MATISSE
V. Hocdé, N. Nardetto, A. Matter +149
The nature of circumstellar envelopes (CSE) around Cepheids is still a matter of debate. The physical origin of their infrared (IR) excess could be either a shell of ionized gas, o…
MOSAIC: the high-multiplex and multi-IFU spectrograph for the ELT
Rubén Sánchez-Janssen, Francois Hammer, Simon Morris +40
MOSAIC is the planned multi-object spectrograph for the 39m Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). Conceived as a multi-purpose instrument, it offers both high multiplex and multi-IFU ca…
The asymmetric inner disk of the Herbig Ae star HD 163296 in the eyes of VLTI/MATISSE: evidence for a vortex?
J. Varga, M. Hogerheijde, R. van Boekel +133
Context. The inner few au region of planet-forming disks is a complex environment. High angular resolution observations have a key role in understanding the disk structure and the…
A Fourier optics approach to evaluate the astrometric performance of MICADO
J. A. van den Born, W. Jellema, R. Navarro +3
We present our investigation into the impact of wavefront errors on high accuracy astrometry using Fourier Optics. MICADO, the upcoming near-IR imaging instrument for the Extremely…
4MOST: Project overview and information for the First Call for Proposals
R. S. de Jong, O. Agertz, A. Agudo Berbel +335
We introduce the 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST), a new high-multiplex, wide-field spectroscopic survey facility under development for the four-metre-class Vis…
The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: overview, operation, simulation
Richard Davies, João Alves, Yann Clénet +98
MICADO will enable the ELT to perform diffraction limited near-infrared observations at first light. The instrument's capabilities focus on imaging (including astrometric and high…
The ELT-MOS (MOSAIC): towards the construction phase
Simon Morris, François Hammer, Pascal Jagourel +50
When combined with the huge collecting area of the ELT, MOSAIC will be the most effective and flexible Multi-Object Spectrograph (MOS) facility in the world, having both a high mul…
HARPS3 for a Roboticized Isaac Newton Telescope
Samantha J. Thompson, Didier Queloz, Isabelle Baraffe +25
We present a description of a new instrument development, HARPS3, planned to be installed on an upgraded and roboticized Isaac Newton Telescope by end-2018. HARPS3 will be a high r…
High-precision astrometry towards ELTs
Davide Massari, Giuliana Fiorentino, Eline Tolstoy +13
With the aim of paving the road for future accurate astrometry with MICADO at the European-ELT, we performed an astrometric study using two different but complementary approaches t…
MICADO: first light imager for the E-ELT
R. Davies, J. Schubert, M. Hartl +80
MICADO will equip the E-ELT with a first light capability for diffraction limited imaging at near-infrared wavelengths. The instrument's observing modes focus on various flavours o…
