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…
METIS: The Mid-infrared ELT Imager and Spectrograph
Bernhard Brandl, Felix Bettonvil, Roy van Boekel +13
The Mid-infrared ELT Imager and Spectrograph (METIS) will provide the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) with a unique window to the thermal- and mid-infrared (3 - 13 microns). Its si…
The Pictoris b Hill sphere transit campaign. Paper I: Photometric limits to dust and rings
M. A. Kenworthy, S. N. Mellon, J. I. Bailey +33
Photometric monitoring of Beta Pictoris in 1981 showed anomalous fluctuations of up to 4% over several days, consistent with foreground material transiting the stellar disk. The su…
Towards a physical understanding of the thermal background in large ground-based telescopes
Leonard Burtscher, Ioannis Politopoulos, Sergio Fernández-Acosta +11
Ground-based thermal-infrared observations have a unique scientific potential, but are also extremely challenging due to the need to accurately subtract the high thermal background…
Using all-sky optical observations for automated orbit determination and prediction for satellites in Low Earth Orbit
T. P. G. Wijnen, R. Stuik, M. Rodenhuis +2
We have used an existing, robotic, multi-lens, all-sky camera system, coupled to a dedicated data reduction pipeline, to automatically determine orbital parameters of satellites in…
Bright Southern Variable Stars in the bRing Survey
Samuel N. Mellon, Eric E. Mamajek, Remko Stuik +9
Besides monitoring the bright star Pic during the near transit event for its giant exoplanet, the Pictoris b Ring (bRing) observatories at Siding Springs Observatory, Austr…
