CUBES: a UV spectrograph for the future
S. Covino, S. Cristiani, J. M. Alcala' +86
In spite of the advent of extremely large telescopes in the UV/optical/NIR range, the current generation of 8-10m facilities is likely to remain competitive at ground-UV wavelength…
Transmission curves of narrow-band filters in large-FoV and fast astronomical instruments
Federico Battaini, Roberto Ragazzoni, Antonino P. Milone +1
Narrow-band filters are often used to constrain the chemical composition of astronomical objects through photometry. A challenge to derive accurate photometry is that narrow-band f…
The CUBES Science Case
Chris Evans, Stefano Cristiani, Cyrielle Opitom +51
We introduce the scientific motivations for the development of the Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph (CUBES) that is now in construction for the Very Large Telescope. The as…
High Quality Software for Planetary Science from Space
Francesco Lazzarotto, Gabriele Cremonese, Alice Lucchetti +5
Planetary science space missions need high quality software ed efficient algorithms in order to extract innovative scientific results from flight data. Reliable and efficient softw…
GAUSS -- A Sample Return Mission to Ceres
Xian Shi, Julie Castillo-Rogez, Henry Hsieh +26
The goal of Project GAUSS is to return samples from the dwarf planet Ceres. Ceres is the most accessible ocean world candidate and the largest reservoir of water in the inner solar…
Geometric calibration of Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System of ESA's Trace Gas Orbiter
Stepan Tulyakov, Anton Ivanov, Nicolas Thomas +5
There are many geometric calibration methods for "standard" cameras. These methods, however, cannot be used for the calibration of telescopes with large focal lengths and complex o…
