Description
The choice of transit detection algorithm can have a strong influence on the results of any photometric exoplanet search. This paper outlines a technique by which the different algorithms can be compared, performing this comparison for the simple case of white Gaussian noise. Perhaps more interestingly, this comparison technique can in the future be extended to test different methods for filtering out coloured stellar noise and what effect using colour filters on one or more of the main telescopes will have on the ability of the mission to detect planets.

    ANDES, the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT: design of the adaptive optics system
    ANDES,the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT, will work both in seeing limited mode and with Adaptive Optics (AO) correction. ANDES-SCAO is a single conjugated AO system working with natural guide stars, feeding the IFU coupled to the YJH spectrograph. The main science goal of the ANDES AO mode is the characterization of the exo-planet

    Contrast optimization in wide-field AO
    In Solar Adaptive Optics (AO), it is common to work with a wide Field of View (FoV), which necessitates special control techniques to enhance system performance. Ground-Layer Adaptive Optics (GLAO) configurations lack sufficient degrees of freedom to correct altitude layers individually, resulting in an averaged correction across the entire FoV. In
