Towards First Light for MICADO: Validation of the PSF-R service with real data
Matteo Simioni, Luca Cortese, Roland Wagner +12
MICADO, one of the ELT first-light instruments, will rely on point-spread-function reconstruction (PSF-R) to meet scientific requirements, especially for SCAO observations of targe…
The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: the PSF Reconstruction Software
Andrea Grazian, Fernando Pedichini, Matteo Simioni +14
The MICADO instrument for the ESO ELT will provide Adaptive Optics (AO) diffraction-limited NIR imaging and spectroscopy. A critical component of MICADO is the Point Spread Functio…
The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: Simulated Observations of Star Forming Clumps at Cosmic Noon
Matteo Simioni, Carmelo Arcidiacono, Andrea Grazian +18
Galaxies at redshift z2-6 exhibit prominent star-forming regions (clumps). Characterisation of these galactic structures requires both high sensitivity and spatial resolution…
The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: the PSF Reconstruction Software
Andrea Grazian, Elisa Portaluri, Matteo Simioni +10
MICADO is the first-light camera of the ESO ELT, allowing NIR imaging and long-slit spectroscopy assisted by adaptive optics. MICADO is now entering its construction phase, and the…
Simulating METIS SCAO System
Markus Feldt, Horst Steuer, Carlos Correia +5
METIS, the Mid-Infrared ELT Imager and Spectrograph, is one of the four first-generation ELT instruments scheduled to see first light in 2028. Its two main science modules are supp…
