Unmasking (44) Nysa: Evidence for a trilobate structure
Kate Minker, Anthony Berdeu, Gianluca Li Causi +16
Context. (44) Nysa is one of the largest known E-type asteroids. Light curve inversion models have indicated that it may have an elongated shape commonly found in large binary syst…
The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: off-axis performance of PSF reconstruction
Matteo Simioni, Daniel Jodlbauer, Carmelo Arcidiacono +14
The highest scientific return, for adaptive optics (AO) observations, is achieved with a reliable reconstruction of the PSF. This is especially true for MICADO@ELT. In this present…
The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: overview and current Status
E. Sturm, R. Davies, J. Alves +151
MICADO is a first light instrument for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), set to start operating later this decade. It will provide diffraction limited imaging, astrometry, high…
The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: the PSF Reconstruction Software
Andrea Grazian, Elisa Portaluri, Matteo Simioni +10
MICADO is the first-light camera of the ESO ELT, allowing NIR imaging and long-slit spectroscopy assisted by adaptive optics. MICADO is now entering its construction phase, and the…
LBT SHARK-VIS Observes a Major Resurfacing Event on Io
Al Conrad, Fernando Pedichini, Gianluca Li Causi +18
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes on Io's surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes. Here,…
