MOSES -- The MONET Star and Exoplanet Spectrograph

S. Schäfer, L. Schmidt, H. Anwand-Heerwart +2

We introduce MOSES, the new High-Resolution Echelle Spectrograph designated for the 1.2m MONET telescope at McDonald Observatory, Texas, USA. The science drivers are radial velocit…

The MICADO first light imager for the ELT: eliminating vibrations and excessive earthquake-loads on specific subsystems

H. Nicklas, S. Schäfer, H. Anwand-Heerwart +3

Ensuring earthquake resilience is paramount for the upcoming Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). Instruments positioned on the ELT's Nasmyth platform are anticipated to endure substan…

Cold and eccentric: a high-spectral resolution view of 51 Eri b with VLT/HiRISE

A. Denis, A. Vigan, G. Chauvin +35

Discovered almost 10 years ago, the giant planet 51 Eridani b is one of the least separated (0.2 arcsec) and faintest (J = 19.74 mag) directly imaged exoplanets known to date. Its…

Characterization of AF Lep b at high spectral resolution with VLT/HiRISE

A. Denis, A. Vigan, J. Costes +41

Since the recent discovery of the directly imaged super-Jovian planet AF Lep b, several studies have been conducted to characterize its atmosphere and constrain its orbital paramet…

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…

First light of VLT/HiRISE: High-resolution spectroscopy of young giant exoplanets

A. Vigan, M. El Morsy, M. Lopez +46

A major endeavor of this decade is the direct characterization of young giant exoplanets at high spectral resolution to determine the composition of their atmosphere and infer thei…
