The pure-rotational and rotational-vibrational Raman spectrum of the atmosphere at an altitude of 23 km
F. P. A. Vogt, A. Mehner, P. Figueira +5
Ground-based optical astronomical observations supported by or in the vicinity of laser guide-star systems can be contaminated by Raman-scattered laser photons. Anticipating, allev…
E0102-VR: exploring the scientific potential of Virtual Reality for observational astrophysics
E. Baracaglia, F. P. A. Vogt
Virtual Reality (VR) technology has been subject to a rapid democratization in recent years, driven in large by the entertainment industry, and epitomized by the emergence of consu…
Rotational and rotational-vibrational Raman spectroscopy of air to characterize astronomical spectrographs
F. P. A. Vogt, F. Kerber, A. Mehner +14
Raman scattering enables unforeseen uses for the laser guide-star system of the Very Large Telescope. Here, we present the observation of one up-link sodium laser beam acquired wit…
Raman-scattered laser guide star photons to monitor the scatter of astronomical telescope mirrors
F. P. A. Vogt, J. L. Álvarez, D. Bonaccini Calia +26
The first observations of laser guide star photons Raman-scattered by air molecules above the Very Large Telescope (VLT) were reported in June 2017. The initial detection came from…
fcmaker: automating the creation of ESO-compliant finding charts for Observing Blocks on p2
Frédéric P. A. Vogt
fcmaker is a python module that creates astronomical finding charts for Observing Blocks (OBs) on the p2 web server from the European Southern Observatory (ESO). It provides users…
Detection and Implications of Laser-Induced Raman Scattering at Astronomical Observatories
F. P. A. Vogt, D. Bonaccini Calia, W. Hackenberg +14
(Abr.) Laser guide stars employed at astronomical observatories provide artificial wavefront reference sources to help correct (in part) the impact of atmospheric turbulence on ast…
Linking the X3D pathway to integral field spectrographs: YSNR 1E0102.2-7219 in the SMC as a case study
F. P. A. Vogt, I. R. Seitenzahl, M. A. Dopita +1
The concept of the X3D pathway was introduced by Vogt et al. (2016) as a new approach to sharing and publishing 3-D structures interactively in online scientific journals. The core…
Advanced Data Visualization in Astrophysics: the X3D Pathway
F. P. A. Vogt, C. I. Owen, L. Verdes-Montenegro +1
Most modern astrophysical datasets are multi-dimensional; a characteristic that can nowadays generally be conserved and exploited scientifically during the data reduction/simulatio…
PyWiFeS: A Rapid Data Reduction Pipeline for the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS)
Michael J. Childress, Frédéric P. A. Vogt, Jon Nielsen +1
We present PyWiFeS, a new Python-based data reduction pipeline for the Wide Field Spectrograph (WiFeS). PyWiFeS consists of a series of core data processing routines built on stand…
Augmented Reality in Astrophysics
Frédéric P. A. Vogt, Luke J. Shingles
Augmented Reality consists of merging live images with virtual layers of information. The rapid growth in the popularity of smartphones and tablets over recent years has provided a…
Discovery of planetary nebulae using predictive mid-infrared diagnostics
Quentin A. Parker, Martin Cohen, Milorad Stupar +6
We demonstrate a newly developed mid-infrared planetary nebula (PN) selection technique. It is designed to enable efficient searches for obscured, previously unknown, PN candidates…
Coronagraphic Low Order Wave Front Sensor : post-processing sensitivity enhancer for high performance coronagraphs
Frédéric P. A. Vogt, Frantz Martinache, Olivier Guyon +4
Detection and characterization of exoplanets by direct imaging requires a coronagraph designed to deliver high contrast at small angular separation. To achieve this, an accurate co…
Stereo pairs in Astrophysics
Frédéric Vogt, Alexander Y. Wagner
Stereoscopic visualization is seldom used in Astrophysical publications and presentations compared to other scientific fields, e.g., Biochemistry, where it has been recognized as a…
