Detector System Challenges of the Wide-field Spectroscopic Survey Telescope (WST)
Roland Bacon, Martin M. Roth, Paola Amico +2
The wide-field spectroscopic survey telescope (WST) is proposed to become the next large optical/near infrared facility for the European Southern Observatory (ESO) once the Extreme…
Instrumentation for ESO's Extremely Large Telescope
Suzanne Ramsay, Michele Cirasuolo, Paola Amico +21
Design and construction of the instruments for ESO's Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) began in 2015. We present here a brief overview of the status of the ELT Instrumentation Plan.…
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…
Sparse aperture masking at the VLT I. Faint companion detection limits for the two debris disk stars HD 92945 and HD 141569
S. Lacour, P. Tuthill, P. Amico +4
Observational data on companion statistics around young stellar systems is needed to flesh out the formation pathways for extrasolar planets and brown dwarfs. Aperture masking is a…
Sparse Aperture Masking (SAM) at NAOS/CONICA on the VLT
Peter Tuthill, Sylvestre Lacour, Paola Amico +8
The new operational mode of aperture masking interferometry has been added to the CONICA camera which lies downstream of the Adaptive Optics (AO) corrected focus provided by NAOS o…
A shift in Jupiter's equatorial haze distribution imaged with the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics Demonstrator at the VLT
Michael H. Wong, Franck Marchis, Enrico Marchetti +4
Jupiter was imaged during the Science Demonstration of the MCAO Demonstrator (MAD) at the European Southern Observatory's UT3 Very Large Telescope unit. Io and Europa were used as…
