Characterization of the MUSE NFM PSF as a function of atmospheric conditions: TipTop calibration
Enrico Congiu, Fuyan Bian, Carlo F. Manara +8
The Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) achieves exceptional spatial resolution in narrow-field mode (NFM) thanks to the GALACSI adaptive optics (AO) system. However, limitati…
The optimisation of short-term scheduling of science observations at Paranal observatory (VLT and ELT)
Joseph P. Anderson, Elyar Sedaghati, Aleksandar Cikota +4
The efficiency of science observation Short-Term Scheduling (STS) can be defined as being a function of how many highly ranked observations are completed per unit time. Current STS…
Effects of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai Volcanic Eruption on Observations at Paranal Observatory
Robert J. De Rosa, Angel Otarola, Thomas Szeifert +8
The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano erupted on 15 January 2022 with an energy equivalent to around 61 megatons of TNT. The explosion was bigger than any other volcanic eruption s…
Performance characterization and near-realtime monitoring of MUSE adaptive optics modes at Paranal
T. Wevers, F. J. Selman, A. Reyes +13
The Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) is an integral field spectrograph on the Very Large Telescope Unit Telescope 4, capable of laser guide star assisted and tomographic ad…
Turbulence nowcast for the Cerro Paranal and Cerro Armazones observatory sites
Julien Milli, Tomás Rojas, Benjamin Courtney-Barrer +4
Optical turbulence affects significantly the quality of ground-based astronomical observations. An accurate and reliable forecast of optical turbulence can help to optimise the sch…
