Neural networks applied to forecasting the astroclimatic and meteorological parameters in an operational context
C. Weinberger, E. Masciadri, M. De Sepibus +4
Forecasting optical turbulence and atmospheric parameters is crucial for science operations of present and new generation ground-based telescopes (ELT) as well as for free-space op…
Establishing baseline model performances for optical turbulence forecasting
M. De Sepibus, E. Masciadri, C. Weinberger +4
Accurate forecasting of optical turbulence (OT) is useful to optimise telescope scheduling and maximising observing efficiency, as the performance of adaptive optics systems strong…
Establishing baseline model performances for optical turbulence forecasting
M. De Sepibus, E. Masciadri, C. Weinberger +2
Accurate optical turbulence (OT) forecasts help telescopes observe with maximum efficiency, as the performance of adaptive optics (AO) systems strongly depends on turbulence condit…
PoET: the Paranal solar ESPRESSO Telescope
Nuno C. Santos, Alexandre Cabral, Inês Leite +42
The detection and characterisation of other "Earths", orbiting other suns, is a bold objective of present-day astrophysics. However, this quest is severely challenged by astrophysi…
FATE -- an operational automatic system for optical turbulence forecasting at the Very Large Telescope
Elena Masciadri, Alessio Turchi, Luca Fini +5
In this contribution we report the on-going progresses of the project FATE, an operational automatic forecast system conceived to deliver forecasts of a set of astroclimatic and at…
The optimisation of short-term scheduling of science observations at Paranal observatory (VLT and ELT)
Joseph P. Anderson, Elyar Sedaghati, Aleksandar Cikota +4
The efficiency of science observation Short-Term Scheduling (STS) can be defined as being a function of how many highly ranked observations are completed per unit time. Current STS…
On the Impact of ENSO Cycles and Climate Change on Telescope Sites in Northern Chile
Julia Victoria Seidel, Angel Otarola, Valentina Théron
The Atacama desert stands as the most arid, non-polar, region on Earth and has accommodated a considerable portion of the world's ground-based astronomical observatories for an ext…
Parque Astronómico de Atacama: An ideal site for millimeter, submillimeter, and mid-infrared astronomy
Ricardo Bustos, Mónica Rubio, Angel Otárola +1
The area of Chajnantor, at more than 5000 meters altitude in northern Chile, offers unique atmospheric and operational conditions which arguably make it the best site in the world…
