Toward the Italian Astronomical Community's Contribution to HWO: Science, Technology, and Instrument Concepts
A. Fontana, F. Annibali, N. Antonietti +101
This paper summarizes the interest of the Italian astronomical community in the possible participation in the development of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). It is largely b…
Revisiting EBL Constraints from Gamma-Ray Observations: A Critical Assessment and Methodological Improvements
K. Abe, S. Abe, J. Abhir +185
The extragalactic background light (EBL), ranging from the infrared to the ultraviolet bands, is the second most intense photon field in the universe, surpassed only by the cosmic…
EXPO: a quantum leap in fast, wide-band X-ray polarimetry for astrophysics
Paolo Soffitta, Sebastien Guillot, Ian Hutchinson +137
The Enhanced X-ray Polarimetry Observatory (EXPO) is a mission concept proposed to ESA as an M8 candidate, with a prospective launch in 2041. Building on the scientific success of…
Constraints on the VHE counterpart of two binary black hole mergers observed by the MAGIC and CTAO LST-1 telescopes
K. Abe, S. Abe, J. Abhir +358
We present very-high-energy gamma-ray observations of two binary black hole merger candidates, GW240615_113620 and GW241125_010116, performed with the Major Atmospheric Gamma Imagi…
The ultra-fast afterglow of GRB 260226A
Biswajit Banerjee, Alessio Mei, Annarita Ierardi +13
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts are typically powered by relativistic jets launched after the core collapse of some rapidly rotating massive stars. Internal dissipation releases par…
CUBES: optical design and analysis of the VLT's high-resolution UV spectrograph past final design review
Lawrence Bissell, Walter Seifert, Ariadna Calcines Rosario +7
CUBES (Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph) will be the most efficient UV spectrograph on an 8-10m class telescope, exploiting the ESO VLT's higher telescope efficiency relati…
