Test of a 34 GHz EOM laser frequency comb at ESPRESSO
Tobias M. Schmidt, Ewelina Obrzud, François Bouchy +18
Laser frequency combs (LFCs) are a promising technology for wavelength calibration of astronomical high-resolution spectrographs requiring utmost accuracy and stability, since they…
Progress on FORS-Up: the first instrument using ELT technologies
H. M. J. Boffin, V. Baldini, S. Bertocco +21
ESO is in the process of upgrading one of the two FORS (FOcal Reducer/low dispersion Spectrograph) instruments - a multi-mode (imaging, polarimetry, long-slit, and multi-object spe…
The MUSE second-generation VLT instrument
Bacon R., Accardo M., Adjali L. +65
The Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) is a second-generation VLT panoramic integral-field spectrograph currently in manufacturing, assembly and integration phase. MUSE has a…
Instrumentation for ESO's Extremely Large Telescope
Suzanne Ramsay, Michele Cirasuolo, Paola Amico +21
Design and construction of the instruments for ESO's Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) began in 2015. We present here a brief overview of the status of the ELT Instrumentation Plan.…
FORS-Up: Making the most versatile instrument in Paranal ready for 15 more years of operations
H. M. J. Boffin, F. Derie, A. Manescau +12
The FORS Upgrade project (FORS-Up) aims at bringing a new life to the highly demanded workhorse instrument attached to ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT). FORS2 is a multimode optica…
Fundamental physics with Espresso: Towards an accurate wavelength calibration for a precision test of the fine-structure constant
Tobias M. Schmidt, Paolo Molaro, Michael T. Murphy +56
Observations of metal absorption systems in the spectra of distant quasars allow to constrain a possible variation of the fine-structure constant throughout the history of the Univ…
