An Isolated Stellar-Mass Black Hole Detected Through Astrometric Microlensing
Kailash C. Sahu, Jay Anderson, Stefano Casertano +90
We report the first unambiguous detection and mass measurement of an isolated stellar-mass black hole (BH). We used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to carry out precise astrometry…
Time delay estimation in unresolved lensed quasars
L. Biggio, A. Domi, S. Tosi +4
Time-delay cosmography can be used to infer the Hubble parameter by measuring the relative time delays between multiple images of gravitationally-lensed quasars. A few of suc…
The ultra-hot-Jupiter KELT-16 b: Dynamical Evolution and Atmospheric Properties
L. Mancini, J. Southworth, L. Naponiello +15
We present broad-band photometry of 30 planetary transits of the ultra-hot Jupiter KELT-16b, using five medium-class telescopes. The transits were monitored through standard B, V,…
Commissioning and improvements of the instrumentation and launch of the scientific exploitation of OARPAF, the Regional Astronomical Observatory of the Antola Park
Davide Ricci, Silvano Tosi, Lorenzo Cabona +17
The \oarpaf telescope is an -diameter optical telescope installed in the Antola Mount Regional Reserve, in Northern Italy. This work presents the results of the character…
The VIS detector system of SOXS
Rosario Cosentino, Matteo Aliverti, Salvatore Scuderi +46
SOXS will be a unique spectroscopic facility for the ESO NTT telescope able to cover the optical and NIR bands thanks to two different arms: the UV-VIS (350-850 nm), and the NIR (8…
Architecture of the SOXS instrument control software
Davide Ricci, Andrea Baruffolo, Bernardo Salasnich +45
SOXS (Son Of X-Shooter) is a new spectrograph for the ESO NTT telescope, currently in the final design phase. The main instrument goal is to allow the characterization of transient…
