Large Frame-Transfer Detectors for the MAIA Imager
Jesús Pérez Padilla, Simon Tulloch, Gert Raskin +4
MAIA, the Mercator Advanced Imager for Asteroseismology, is a new fast-cadence 3-channel photometric instrument. It is installed on the 1.2-m Mercator telescope at the Roque de Los…
Compact Stirling cooling of astronomical detectors
Gert Raskin, Johan Morren, Wim Pessemier +2
MAIA, a three-channel imager targeting fast cadence photometry, was recently installed on the Mercator telescope (La Palma, Spain). This instrument observes a 9.4 x 14.1 arcmin fie…
A practical approach to ontology-enabled control systems for astronomical instrumentation
Wim Pessemier, Gert Raskin, Hans Van Winckel +2
Even though modern service-oriented and data-oriented architectures promise to deliver loosely coupled control systems, they are inherently brittle as they commonly depend on a pri…
HERMES at Mercator, competitive high-resolution spectroscopy with a small telescope
Gert Raskin, Hans Van Winckel
HERMES, a fibre-fed high-resolution (R=85000) echelle spectrograph with good stability and excellent throughput, is the work-horse instrument of the 1.2-m Mercator telescope on La…
MAIA, a three-channel imager for asteroseismology: instrument design
Gert Raskin, Steven Bloemen, Johan Morren +8
MAIA, an acronym for Mercator Advanced Imager for Asteroseismology, is a three-channel instrument that targets fast-cadence three-colour photometry, installed at the 1.2-m Mercator…
Modelling the asymmetric wind of the luminous blue variable binary MWC 314
A. Lobel, J. H. Groh, C. Martayan +12
We present a spectroscopic analysis of MWC 314, a luminous blue variable (LBV) candidate with an extended bipolar nebula. The detailed spectroscopic variability is investigated to…
