The Schwarzschild-Couder Telescope (SCT) is a medium-sized telescope technology proposed for the Cherenkov Telescope Array. It uses a novel dual-mirror optical design that removes…
LOCNES: a solar telescope to study stellar activity in the near infrared
Claudi R., Ghedina A., Pace E. +27
LOCNES (LOw-Cost NIR Extended Solar telescope) is a solar telescope installed at the TNG (Telescopio Nazionale Galileo). It feeds the light of the Sun into the NIR spectrograph GIA…
LOCNES: Low Cost NIR Extended Solar Telescope
R. Claudi, A. Ghedina, E. Pace +11
The search for telluric extrasolar planets with the Radial Velocity (RV) technique is intrinsically limited by the stellar jitter due to the activity of the star, because stellar s…
