The Properties of Early-type Stars in the Magellanic Clouds
Christopher J. Evans
The past decade has witnessed impressive progress in our understanding of the physical properties of massive stars in the Magellanic Clouds, and how they compare to their cousins i…
Science Requirements for EAGLE for the E-ELT
C. J. Evans, M. D. Lehnert, J. -G. Cuby +7
We present an overview of the EAGLE science case, which spans spatially-resolved spectroscopy of targets from five key science areas - ranging from studies of heavily-obscured Gala…
The blue supergiant Sher 25 and its intriguing hourglass nebula
M. A. Hendry, S. J. Smartt, E. D. Skillman +5
The blue supergiant Sher 25 is surrounded by an asymmetric, hourglass-shaped circumstellar nebula. Its structure and dynamics have been studied previously through high-resolution i…
Detection of diffuse interstellar bands in M31
M. A. Cordiner, N. L. J. Cox, C. Trundle +5
We investigate the diffuse interstellar band (DIB) spectrum in the interstellar medium of M31. The DEIMOS spectrograph of the W. M. Keck observatory was used to make optical spectr…
Smart Focal Plane Technologies for VLT Instruments
Colin Cunningham, Chris Evans
As we move towards the era of ELTs, it is timely to think about the future role of the 8-m class telescopes. Under the OPTICON programme, novel technologies have been developed tha…
ELT instrumentation for seeing-limited and AO-corrected observations: A comparison
Colin Cunningham, Chris Evans, Guy Monnet +1
The next generation of large ground-based optical and infrared telescopes will provide new challenges for designers of astronomical instrumentation. The varied science cases for th…
