This paper describes the main characteristics of GRIS (GREGOR Infrared Spectrograph), the grating spectrograph installed in the recently inaugurated (May 2012)...
Ground-based follow-up in relation to Kepler asteroseismic investigation
The Kepler space mission, successfully launched in March 2009, is providing continuous and high-precision photometry of thousands of stars simultaneously. The...
Ground-based multi-color photometry of the γ Doradus-δ Scuti hybrid star KIC 6761539
We present a preliminary analysis of the first three nights of multi-color photometric data for a γ Doradus-δ Scuti hybrid star (KIC 6761539) that is also being...
Ground-based Near-infrared Observations of the Secondary Eclipse of CoRoT-2b
We present the results of a ground-based search for the secondary eclipse of the 3.3 M Jup transiting planet CoRoT-2b. We performed near-infrared photometry...
Ground-based photometry of space-based transit detections: photometric follow-up of the CoRoT mission
The motivation, techniques and performance of the ground-based photometric follow-up of transit detections by the CoRoT space mission are presented. Its...
Ground-based transit observations of the super-Earth GJ 1214 b
Context. GJ 1214 b is one of the few known transiting super-Earth-sized exoplanets with a measured mass and radius. It orbits an M-dwarf, only 14.55 pc away...
Aims: The aim of the project is to contribute to the characterisation of the spectral energy distribution of the coolest brown dwarfs discovered to date, the Y...
GTC/OSIRIS Spectroscopic Identification of a Faint L Subdwarf in the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey
We present the discovery of an L subdwarf in 234 deg2 common to the UK InfraRed Telescope (UKIRT) Infrared Deep Sky Survey Large Area Survey Data Release 2 and...
H-ATLAS: PACS imaging for the Science Demonstration Phase
We describe the reduction of data taken with the PACS instrument on board the Herschel Space Observatory in the Science Demonstration Phase of the Herschel...
