SHARP -- A spectrograph proposal to fully exploit ELT capabilities and look beyond JWST
P. Saracco, P. Conconi, C. Arcidiacono +47
The Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs), with their large apertures and cutting-edge Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) systems, promise to deliver data that is both sharper and…
Revisiting the Milky Way stellar long bar and the 3 kpc arm
M. Lopez-Corredoira, W. Wu, H. -F. Wang +1
CONTEXT. One of the most difficult and unexplored regions of the Milky Way is the highly extincted in-plane central region within the Galactic coordinates $10^\circ \lesssim |\ell…
SHARP: Beyond JWST -- Revealing the galaxy birth and growth with the resolution of the ELT
P. Saracco, P. Conconi, C. Arcidiacono +37
A deep understanding of the life-cycle of galaxies, particularly those of high mass, requires clarifying the mechanisms that regulate star formation (SF) and its abrupt shutdown (q…
Milky Way disc & Bulge in situ populations: ESO white paper - Expanding horizons call
M. Bergemann, G. Kordopatis, G. Casali +11
The formation and evolution of the Milky Way's disc, bar, and bulge remain fundamentally limited by the lack of a contiguous, Galaxy-wide, high-precision chemo-dynamical map. Key o…
