Dual and lensed AGN at sub-arcsecond separations uncovered by ERIS
M. V. Zanchettin, F. Mannucci, Q. D'Amato +62
We present the first results of the ongoing INAF GTO program focused on the search of sub-arcsecond dual AGN, carried out with the near-infrared integral-field unit SPIFFIER of the…
SHARP -- A spectrograph proposal to fully exploit ELT capabilities and look beyond JWST
P. Saracco, P. Conconi, C. Arcidiacono +47
The Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs), with their large apertures and cutting-edge Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) systems, promise to deliver data that is both sharper and…
The Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph for the VLT
R. Davies, O. Absil, G. Agapito +81
ERIS, the Enhanced Resolution Imager and Spectrograph, is an instrument that both extends and enhances the fundamental diffraction limited imaging and spectroscopy capability for t…
The ERIS Adaptive Optics System
A. Riccardi, S. Esposito, G. Agapito +19
ERIS is the new AO instrument for VLT-UT4 led by a Consortium of Max-Planck Institut fuer Extraterrestrische Physik, UK-ATC, ETH-Zurich, ESO and INAF. The ERIS AO system provides N…
The distance to NGC1316 (Fornax A): yet another curious case
Michele Cantiello, Aniello Grado, John P. Blakeslee +6
The distance of NGC1316, the brightest galaxy in Fornax, is an interesting test for the cosmological distance scale. First, because Fornax is the 2nd largest cluster of galaxies at…
Optical and near infrared coverage of SN 2004et: physical parameters and comparison with other type IIP supernovae
K. Maguire, E. Di Carlo, S. J. Smartt +22
We present new optical and near infrared (NIR) photometry and spectroscopy of the type IIP supernova, SN 2004et. In combination with already published data, this provides one of th…
The correlated optical and radio variability of BL Lacertae. WEBT data analysis 1994-2005
M. Villata, C. M. Raiteri, V. M. Larionov +2
Since 1997, BL Lacertae has undergone a phase of high optical activity, with the occurrence of several prominent outbursts. Starting from 1999, the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WE…
SN 2008S: an electron capture SN from a super-AGB progenitor?
M. T. Botticella, A. Pastorello, S. J. Smartt +31
We present comprehensive photometric and spectroscopic observations of the faint transient SN 2008S discovered in NGC 6946. SN 2008S exhibited slow photometric evolution and almost…
SN 2005cs in M51 I. The first month of evolution of a subluminous SN II plateau
A. Pastorello, D. Sauer, S. Taubenberger +16
Early time optical observations of supernova (SN) 2005cs in the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51), are reported. Photometric data suggest that SN 2005cs is a moderately under-luminous Type II…
