Molecfit: A general tool for telluric absorption correction II. Quantitative evaluation on ESO-VLT X-Shooter spectra

W. Kausch, S. Noll. A. Smette, S. Kimeswenger +6

Context: Absorption by molecules in the Earth's atmosphere strongly affects ground-based astronomical observations. The resulting absorption line strength and shape depend on the h…

Molecfit: A general tool for telluric absorption correction. I. Method and application to ESO instruments

A. Smette, H. Sana, S. Noll +10

Context: The interaction of the light from astronomical objects with the constituents of the Earth's atmosphere leads to the formation of telluric absorption lines in ground-based…

Skycorr: A general tool for spectroscopic sky subtraction

S. Noll, W. Kausch, S. Kimeswenger +5

Airglow emission lines, which dominate the optical-to-near-IR sky radiation, show strong, line-dependent variability on various time scales. Therefore, the subtraction of the sky b…

Accelerated post-AGB evolution, initial-final mass relations, and the star-formation history of the Galactic bulge

K. Gesicki, A. A. Zijlstra, M. Hajduk +1

We study the star-formation history of the Galactic bulge, as derived from the age distribution of the central stars of planetary nebulae that belong to this stellar population. Th…

Molecfit: A Package for Telluric Absorption Correction

W. Kausch, S. Noll, A. Smette +7

Correcting for the sky signature usually requires supplementary calibration data which are very expensive in terms of telescope time. In addition, the scheduling flexibility is res…

An advanced scattered moonlight model for Cerro Paranal

Amy Jones, Stefan Noll, Wolfgang Kausch +2

The largest natural source of light at night is the Moon, and it is the major contributor to the astronomical sky background. Being able to accurately predict the sky background, i…
