ALIOLI: Adaptive and Lucky Imaging Optics Lightweight Instrument
As a consequence of the evolution in the design and of the modularity of its components, AOLI for the William Herschel Telescope (WHT 4.2m) is much smaller and...
Adaptive optics (AO) systems correct atmospheric turbulence in real time and they are normally used in large and medium telescopes but not in modest telescopes...
PASS, the Permanent All Sky Survey is a project to survey the entire visible sky for the presence of transits by extrasolar planets. The instrument would...
All-Sky Cameras Detection and Telescope Follow-Up of the 17P/Holmes Outburst
Cometary outbursts are not completely understood. We have performed a continuous coverage of the recent 17P/Holmes outburst in order to learn more about the...
We present a design for the computer systems which control, configure, and monitor the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) correlator and process its output...
ALMA spectrum of the extreme OH/IR star OH 26.5+0.6
We present ALMA band 7 data of the extreme OH/IR star, OH 26.5+0.6. In addition to lines of CO and its isotopologues, the circumstellar envelope also exhibits a...
Along the path towards extremely precise radial velocity measurements
In the last six years, thanks to the very high radial velocity precision of the HARPS spectrograph, it was possible to detect 21 out of the 30 super-Earth...
Alpha Per faint stars photometry (Barrado y Navascues+, 2002)
We obtained deep optical imaging of the Alpha Per open cluster using the KPNO 4-m CCD mosaic camera, MOSA, on November 19-22 1998. All of the images were...
