The optical afterglows and host galaxies of three short/hard gamma-ray bursts
P. D'Avanzo, D. Malesani, S. Covino +17
Short GRBs are commonly thought to originate from the merging of double compact object binaries but direct evidence for this scenario is still missing. Optical observations of shor…
The physical properties of Lyalpha emitting galaxies: not just primeval galaxies?
L. Pentericci, A. Grazian, A. Fontana +4
We have analyzed a sample of LBGs from z =3.5 to z=6 selected from the GOODS-S field as B,V and i-dropouts, and with spectroscopic observations showing that they have the Lyalpha l…
The Blue Straggler population in the globular cluster M53 (NGC5024): a combined HST, LBT, CFHT study
G. Beccari, B. Lanzoni, F. R. Ferraro +24
We used a proper combination of multiband high-resolution and wide field multi-wavelength observations collected at three different telescopes (HST, LBT and CFHT) to probe Blue Str…
From Espresso to Codex
J. Liske, L. Pasquini, P. Bonifacio +24
CODEX and ESPRESSO are concepts for ultra-stable, high-resolution spectrographs at the E-ELT and VLT, respectively. Both instruments are well motivated by distinct sets of science…
The performance of the blue prime focus Large Binocular Camera at the Large Binocular Telescope
E. Giallongo, R. Ragazzoni, A. Grazian +23
We present the characteristics and some early scientific results of the first instrument at the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), the Large Binocular Camera (LBC). Each LBT telescop…
Realistic simulations of gravitational lensing by galaxy clusters: extracting arc parameters from mock DUNE images
Massimo Meneghetti, Peter Melchior, Andrea Grazian +6
We present a newly developed code that allows simulations of optical observations of galaxy fields with a variety of instruments. The code incorporates gravitational lensing effect…
