Progress on FORS-Up: the first instrument using ELT technologies
H. M. J. Boffin, V. Baldini, S. Bertocco +21
ESO is in the process of upgrading one of the two FORS (FOcal Reducer/low dispersion Spectrograph) instruments - a multi-mode (imaging, polarimetry, long-slit, and multi-object spe…
Dark Dust III: The high-quality single-cloud reddening curve sample. Scrutinizing extinction curves in the Milky Way
R. Siebenmorgen, J. Smoker, J. Krełowski +2
The nature of dust in the diffuse interstellar medium can be best investigated by means of reddening curves where only a single interstellar cloud lies between the observer and the…
The beta Pictoris system: Setting constraints on the planet and the disk structures at mid-IR wavelengths with NEAR
Nour Skaf, Anthony Boccaletti, Eric Pantin +26
[abridged] We analyzed mid-infrared high-contrast coronagraphic images of the beta Pictoris system, taking advantage of the NEAR experiment using the VLT/VISIR instrument. The goal…
Spatially resolving polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Herbig Ae disks with VISIR-NEAR at the VLT
Gideon Yoffe, Roy van Boekel, Aigen Li +15
We use the long-slit spectroscopy mode of the VISIR-NEAR experiment to perform diffraction-limited observations of eight nearby Herbig Ae protoplanetary disks. We extract spectra f…
Paradigmatic examples for testing models of optical light polarization by spheroidal dust
C. Peest, R. Siebenmorgen, F. Heymann +2
We present a general framework on how the polarization of radiation due to scattering, dichroic extinction, and birefringence of aligned spheroidal dust grains can be implemented a…
Lessons learned from the NEAR experiment and prospects for the upcoming mid-IR HCI instruments
Prashant Pathak, Markus Kasper, Olivier Absil +6
The mid-infrared (IR) regime is well suited to directly detect the thermal signatures of exoplanets in our solar neighborhood. The NEAR experiment: demonstration of high-contrast i…
