MORFEO: Advancing Towards Final Design
Lorenzo Busoni, Guido Agapito, Marco Bonaglia +106
The Multiconjugate adaptive Optics Relay For ELT Observations (MORFEO) is a first-generation adaptive optics module for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), designed to deliver a d…
An overview of stray light findings and interpretation during on-sky commissioning of LSSTCam
Gabriele Rodeghiero, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Alessio Taranto +78
Wide-field telescopes are intrinsically difficult to shield from unwanted stray and scattered light, while the search to identify sources of contaminating light is frequently a cha…
Investigation and Mitigation of a Prominent Off-Axis Stray Light Path in Rubin Observatory Commissioning
Alex Drlica-Wagner, Alessio Taranto, Gabriele Rodeghiero +12
The "scratched tape" stray light feature is the most prominent and prevalent stray light artifact identified during the commissioning of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. The scratche…
Mechanical Studies of an Additional Light Baffle for the LSST Camera
Hannah Mary Margaret Pollek, Gabriele Rodeghiero, John Andrew +11
Commissioning the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory consisted of engineering operation and on-sky data-taking, initially with the Commissioning Camera followed by the commissioning…
Modeling of the diffuse background produced by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory M2 baffle scattered light
Alessio Taranto, Gabriele Rodeghiero, Luca Rosignoli +58
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, with its unprecedented field of view and fast focal ratio, will survey the entire sky every 3.5 nights. This unique capacity requires dealing with of…
Laser-based metrology systems vs wavefront sensing techniques: a comparative overview between the Large Binocular Telescope and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory for the telescope alignment and collimation tracking
Luca Rosignoli, Gabriele Rodeghiero, Sandrine J. Thomas +26
This work presents a comparative overview of the collimation and alignment strategies employed by two leading 8m-class facilities: the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) and the Vera…
The one and the only: the pulsar - white dwarf system in NGC 6749
Paulo C. C. Freire, Yinfeng Dai, Mario Cadelano +7
PSR J1905+0154A is a binary millisecond pulsar located in the globular cluster (GC) NGC 6749. It was discovered in 2004 in a search for pulsars in GCs carried out with the Arecibo…
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Data Preview 1
Vera C Rubin Observatory Team, Tatiana Acero Cuellar, Emily Acosta +325
We present Rubin Data Preview 1 DP1, the first data from the NSF DOE Vera C Rubin Observatory, comprising raw and calibrated single epoch images, coadds, difference images, detecti…
The Hubble Missing Globular Cluster Survey. III. Astro-photometric catalogs, artificial-star tests, and improved absolute proper motions
M. Libralato, A. Bellini, D. Massari +17
The Hubble Missing Globular Cluster Survey (MGCS) has taken one of the last opportunities to complete the census of Galactic globular clusters (GCs) started by past Hubble Space Te…
The Hubble Missing Globular Cluster Survey. II. Survey membership tools and kinematic analysis of NGC 6749
L. Rosignoli, M. Libralato, R. Pascale +15
The Hubble Missing Globular Cluster Survey has secured high quality astro photometric data in two bands for 34 clusters never observed with HST. When combined with Gaia positional…
pastamarkers 2: pasta sauce colormaps for your flavorful results
PASTA Collaboration, L. Rosignoli, A. Della Croce +7
In the big data era of Astrophysics, the improvement of visualization techniques can greatly enhance the ability to identify and interpret key features in complex datasets. This as…
The Missing Globular Cluster Survey. I. Survey overview and the first precise age estimate for ESO452-11 and 2MASS-GC01
D. Massari, M. Bellazzini, M. Libralato +17
We present the Missing Globular Cluster Survey (MGCS), a Treasury Program dedicated to the observation of all kinematically confirmed Milky Wa…
Deep Chandra observations of Abell 2495: a possible sloshing-regulated feedback cycle in a triple-offset galaxy cluster
Luca Rosignoli, Francesco Ubertosi, Myriam Gitti +6
We present the analysis of new, deep observations (130~ks) of the galaxy cluster Abell~2495. This object is known for the presence of a triple offset between the peaks of…
