MOSES -- The MONET Star and Exoplanet Spectrograph
S. Schäfer, L. Schmidt, H. Anwand-Heerwart +2
We introduce MOSES, the new High-Resolution Echelle Spectrograph designated for the 1.2m MONET telescope at McDonald Observatory, Texas, USA. The science drivers are radial velocit…
The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: eliminating vibrations and excessive earthquake-loads on specific subsystems
H. Nicklas, S. Schäfer, H. Anwand-Heerwart +3
Ensuring earthquake resilience is paramount for the upcoming Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). Instruments positioned on the ELT's Nasmyth platform are anticipated to endure substan…
Cold and eccentric: a high-spectral resolution view of 51 Eri b with VLT/HiRISE
A. Denis, A. Vigan, G. Chauvin +35
Discovered almost 10 years ago, the giant planet 51 Eridani b is one of the least separated (0.2 arcsec) and faintest (J = 19.74 mag) directly imaged exoplanets known to date. Its…
Characterization of AF Lep b at high spectral resolution with VLT/HiRISE
A. Denis, A. Vigan, J. Costes +41
Since the recent discovery of the directly imaged super-Jovian planet AF Lep b, several studies have been conducted to characterize its atmosphere and constrain its orbital paramet…
