An overview of stray light findings and interpretation during on-sky commissioning of LSSTCam
Gabriele Rodeghiero, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Alessio Taranto +78
Wide-field telescopes are intrinsically difficult to shield from unwanted stray and scattered light, while the search to identify sources of contaminating light is frequently a cha…
Modeling of the diffuse background produced by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory M2 baffle scattered light
Alessio Taranto, Gabriele Rodeghiero, Luca Rosignoli +58
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, with its unprecedented field of view and fast focal ratio, will survey the entire sky every 3.5 nights. This unique capacity requires dealing with of…
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…
The impact of climate change on astronomical observations
Faustine Cantalloube, Julien Milli, Christoph Böhm +5
Climate change is affecting and will increasingly affect astronomical observations. In this paper, we investigated the role some key weather parameters play in the quality of astro…
Optical turbulence profiling with Stereo-SCIDAR for VLT and ELT
J. Osborn, R. W. Wilson, M. Sarazin +11
Knowledge of the Earth's atmospheric optical turbulence is critical for astronomical instrumentation. Not only does it enable performance verification and optimisation of existing…
European Extremely Large Telescope Site Characterization II: High angular resolution parameters
Héctor Vázquez Ramió, Jean Vernin, Casiana Muñoz-Tuñón +17
This is the second article of a series devoted to European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) site characterization. In this article we present the main properties of the parameters…
