Toward the Italian Astronomical Community's Contribution to HWO: Science, Technology, and Instrument Concepts
A. Fontana, F. Annibali, N. Antonietti +101
This paper summarizes the interest of the Italian astronomical community in the possible participation in the development of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). It is largely b…
Continuous Wide-Field Optical Monitoring for Very Early-Phase Transient Discovery
Massimo Della Valle, Maria Teresa Botticella, Enrico Cappellaro +40
The study of transient phenomena in a multimessenger context is expected to remain a major pillar of astrophysical discovery in the decades ahead. Supernovae, Kilonovae, Black-Hole…
CHEOPS in-flight performance: A comprehensive look at the first 3.5 years of operations
A. Fortier, A. E. Simon, C. Broeg +128
CHEOPS is a space telescope specifically designed to monitor transiting exoplanets orbiting bright stars. In September 2023, CHEOPS completed its nominal mission and remains in exc…
Ariel: Enabling planetary science across light-years
Giovanna Tinetti, Paul Eccleston, Carole Haswell +313
Ariel, the Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey, was adopted as the fourth medium-class mission in ESA's Cosmic Vision programme to be launched in 2029. Durin…
The CHEOPS mission
Willy Benz, Christopher Broeg, Andrea Fortier +107
The CHaracterising ExOPlanet Satellite (CHEOPS) was selected in 2012, as the first small mission in the ESA Science Programme and successfully launched in December 2019. CHEOPS is…
TOSC: an algorithm for the tomography of spotted transit chords
Gaetano Scandariato, Valerio Nascimbeni, Antonio Francesco Lanza +3
Photometric observations of planetary transits may show localized bumps, called transit anomalies, due to the possible crossing of photospheric starspots. The aim of this work is t…
High-precision astrometry with VVV. I. An independent reduction pipeline for VIRCAM@VISTA
M. Libralato, A. Bellini, L. R. Bedin +6
We present a new reduction pipeline for the VIRCAM@VISTA detector and describe the method developed to obtain high-precision astrometry with the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (…
