Molecfit: A general tool for telluric absorption correction II. Quantitative evaluation on ESO-VLT X-Shooter spectra

W. Kausch, S. Noll. A. Smette, S. Kimeswenger +6

Context: Absorption by molecules in the Earth's atmosphere strongly affects ground-based astronomical observations. The resulting absorption line strength and shape depend on the h…

Molecfit: A general tool for telluric absorption correction. I. Method and application to ESO instruments

A. Smette, H. Sana, S. Noll +10

Context: The interaction of the light from astronomical objects with the constituents of the Earth's atmosphere leads to the formation of telluric absorption lines in ground-based…

Molecfit: A Package for Telluric Absorption Correction

W. Kausch, S. Noll, A. Smette +7

Correcting for the sky signature usually requires supplementary calibration data which are very expensive in terms of telescope time. In addition, the scheduling flexibility is res…

Resolving the mid-infrared cores of local Seyferts

P. Gandhi, H. Horst, A. Smette +5

We present new photometry of 16 local Seyferts including 6 Compton-thick sources in N-band filters around 12-microns, obtained with the VISIR instrument on the 8-m Very Large Teles…

Mid-infrared imaging of 25 local AGN with VLT-VISIR

Hannes Horst, Wolfgang J. Duschl, Poshak Gandhi +1

Aims. High angular resolution N-band imaging is used to discern the torus of active galactic nuclei (AGN) from its environment in order to allow a comparison of its mid-infrared pr…

Discovery of a strong Baldwin effect in mid-infrared AGN lines

S. F. Hoenig, A. Smette, T. Beckert +5

We present the discovery of a Baldwin effect in 8 nearby Seyfert galaxies for the three most prominent mid-infrared forbidden emission lines observable from the ground that are com…
