Elmer is a visible imager-spectrograph currently scheduled to be in operation at the GTC on Day One. The instrument will allow imaging over a 4.2 arcminute...
The SDSS-III APOGEE Radial Velocity Survey of M Dwarfs. I. Description of the Survey and Science Goals
We are carrying out a large ancillary program with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, SDSS-III, using the fiber-fed multi-object near-infrared APOGEE spectrograph...
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey extended point spread functions
A robust and extended characterization of the point spread function (PSF) is crucial to extract the photometric information produced by deep imaging surveys...
The solar gravitational redshift from HARPS-LFC Moon spectra⋆. A test of the general theory of relativity
Context. The general theory of relativity predicts the redshift of spectral lines in the solar photosphere as a consequence of the gravitational potential of...
The spectrum of (136199) Eris between 350 and 2350 nm: results with X-Shooter
Context. X-Shooter is the first second-generation instrument for the ESO-Very Large Telescope. It is a spectrograph covering the entire 300-2480 nm spectral...
Even among the most irradiated gas giants, so-called ultra-hot Jupiters, KELT-9b stands out as the hottest planet thus far discovered with a dayside temperature...
STELLA is a robotic observatory with two fully automatic telescopes (STELLA-I and STELLA-II) located at the Teide Observatory in Tenerife, Spain. Not only the...
The Sun at high resolution: first results from the Sunrise mission
The Sunrise balloon-borne solar observatory consists of a 1m aperture Gregory telescope, a UV filter imager, an imaging vector polarimeter, an image...
The throughput calibration of the VERITAS telescopes
Context. The response of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes to incident γ-ray-initiated showers in the atmosphere changes as the telescopes age due to...
