4MOST: Project overview and information for the First Call for Proposals
R. S. de Jong, O. Agertz, A. Agudo Berbel +335
We introduce the 4-metre Multi-Object Spectroscopic Telescope (4MOST), a new high-multiplex, wide-field spectroscopic survey facility under development for the four-metre-class Vis…
The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs - HD 147379b: A nearby Neptune in the temperate zone of an early-M dwarf
A. Reiners, I. Ribas, M. Zechmeister +169
We report on the first star discovered to host a planet detected by radial velocity (RV) observations obtained within the CARMENES survey for exoplanets around M dwarfs. HD 147379…
A High Resolution Spectrograph for the 72 cm Waltz Telescope at Landessternwarte, Heidelberg
M. Tala, P. Heeren, M. Grill +14
The Waltz Spectrograph is a fiber-fed high-resolution échelle spectrograph for the 72 cm Waltz Telescope at the Landessternwarte, Heidelberg. It uses a 31.6 lines/mm 63.5…
4MOST - 4m Multi Object Spectroscopic Telescope
Eric Depagne, the 4MOST consortium
4MOST (4m Multi Object Spectroscopic Telescope) is a spectroscopic facility that will be installed on ESO's VISTA around 2020. The science rationale of this facility are to be foun…
CARMENES. I. A radial-velocity survey for terrestrial planets in the habitable zones of M dwarfs. A historical overview
P. J. Amado, A. Quirrenbach, I. Ribas +7
CARMENES (Calar Alto high-Resolution search for M dwarfs with Exo-earths with Near-infrared and optical Echelle Spectrographs) is a next generation instrument being built for the 3…
Infrared Narrow-Band Tomography of the Local Starburst NGC 1569 with LBT/LUCIFER
A. Pasquali, A. Bik, S. Zibetti +24
We used the near-IR imager/spectrograph LUCIFER mounted on the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) to image, with sub-arcsec seeing, the local dwarf starburst NGC 1569 in the JHK bands…
Black Hole Mass Estimates Based on CIV are Consistent with Those Based on the Balmer Lines
R. J. Assef, K. D. Denney, C. S. Kochanek +39
Using a sample of high-redshift lensed quasars from the CASTLES project with observed-frame ultraviolet or optical and near-infrared spectra, we have searched for possible biases b…
J004457+4123 (Sharov 21): not a remarkable nova in M31 but a background quasar with a spectacular UV flare
H. Meusinger, M. Henze, K. Birkle +8
We announce the discovery of a quasar behind the disk of M31, which was previously classified as a remarkable nova in our neighbour galaxy. The paper is primarily aimed at the outb…
CARMENES: Calar Alto high-Resolution search for M dwarfs with Exo-earths with a Near-infrared Echelle Spectrograph
A. Quirrenbach, P. J. Amado, H. Mandel +55
CARMENES, Calar Alto high-Resolution search for M dwarfs with Exo-earths with a Near-infrared Echelle Spectrograph, is a study for a next-generation instrument for the 3.5m Calar A…
The ORFEUS II Echelle Spectrometer: Instrument description, performance and data reduction
J. Barnstedt, N. Kappelmann, I. Appenzeller +11
During the second flight of the ORFEUS-SPAS mission in November/December 1996, the Echelle spectrometer was used extensively by the Principal and Guest Investigator teams as one of…
ORFEUS-II Far-Ultraviolet Observations of 3C273: 1. Interstellar and Intergalactic Absorption Lines
Mark Hurwitz, Immo Appenzeller, Juergen Barnstedt +7
We present the first intermediate-resolution (lambda / 3000) spectrum of the bright quasi-stellar object 3C273 at wavelengths between 900 and 1200 A. Observations were performed wi…
