Optical constraints on the coldest metal-poor population
Jerry Jun-Yan Zhang, Nicolas Lodieu, Eduardo L. Martín +10
The coldest metal-poor population made of T and Y dwarfs are archaeological tracers of our Galaxy because they are very old and have kept the pristine material. The optical propert…
The importance of binary stars
Henri M. J. Boffin, David Jones
Stars are mostly found in binary and multiple systems, as at least 50% of all solar-like stars have companions - a fraction that goes up to 100% for the most massive stars. Moreove…
Unequivocal detection of the tidal deformation of a red giant in a binary system via interferometry
Jaroslav Merc, Henri M. J. Boffin
While mass transfer in binary systems is a crucial aspect of binary evolution models, it remains far from understood. HD 352 is a spectroscopic binary exhibiting ellipsoidal variab…
Scientific Text Analysis with Robots applied to observatory proposals
T. Jerabkova, H. M. J. Boffin, F. Patat +3
To test the potential disruptive effect of Artificial Intelligence (AI) transformers (e.g., ChatGPT) and their associated Large Language Models on the time allocation process, both…
ESO's new generation of Exposure Time Calculators
Henri M. J. Boffin, Jakob Vinther, Gurvan Bazin +4
Users of astronomical observatories rely on Exposure Time Calculators (ETC) to prepare their proposals and then their observations. The ETC is therefore a crucial element in an obs…
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) Science White Paper
Vincenzo Mainieri, Richard I. Anderson, Jarle Brinchmann +214
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is proposed as a new facility dedicated to the efficient delivery of spectroscopic surveys. This white paper summarises the initial con…
