Progress on the UV-VIS arm of SOXS
Adam Rubin, Sagi Ben-Ami, Ofir Hershko +45
We present our progress on the UV-VIS arm of Son Of X-Shooter (SOXS), a new spectrograph for the NTT. Our design splits the spectral band into four sub-bands that are imaged onto a…
SPHERE: the exoplanet imager for the Very Large Telescope
J. -L. Beuzit, A. Vigan, D. Mouillet +108
Observations of circumstellar environments to look for the direct signal of exoplanets and the scattered light from disks has significant instrumental implications. In the past 15…
SPHERE / ZIMPOL observations of the symbiotic system R Aqr. I. Imaging of the stellar binary and the innermost jet clouds
H. M. Schmid, A. Bazzon, J. Milli +40
R Aqr is a symbiotic binary system consisting of a mira variable, a hot companion with a spectacular jet outflow, and an extended emission line nebula. We have used R Aqr as test t…
First light of the VLT planet finder SPHERE. IV. Physical and chemical properties of the planets around HR8799
M. Bonnefoy, A. Zurlo, J. L. Baudino +63
The system of four planets around HR8799 offers a unique opportunity to probe the physics and chemistry at play in the atmospheres of self-luminous young (~30 Myr) planets. We rece…
Evolutionary tracks and isochrones for alpha-enhanced stars
Bernardo Salasnich, Leo Girardi, Achim Weiss +1
We present four large sets of evolutionary tracks for stars with initial chemical compositions [Y=0.250, Z=0.008], [Y=0.273, Z=0.019], [Y=0.320, Z=0.040] and [Y=0.390, Z=0.070] and…
Evolution of Massive Stars under New Mass-Loss Rates for RSG: Is the mystery of the missing blue gap solved ?
B. Salasnich, A. Bressan, C. Chiosi
In this paper we present new models of massive stars based on recent advancements in the theory of diffusive mixing and a new empirical formulation of the mass-loss rates of red su…
