We present the final global design and performances of EMIR, the NIR multiobject spectrograph of the GTC, as well as the plan for its early scientific...

A cryogenic achromatic half-wave plate (HWP) for submillimetre astronomical polarimetry has been designed, manufactured, tested and deployed in the Balloon...

Context. ESPRESSO is the new high-resolution spectrograph of ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT). It was designed for ultra-high radial-velocity (RV) precision and...

The TESS mission has reported a wealth of new planetary systems around bright and nearby stars amenable for detailed characterizations of planet properties and...

The acronym ESPRESSO stems for Echelle SPectrograph for Rocky Exoplanets and Stable Spectroscopic Observations; this instrument will be the next VLT high...

Context. The European Space Agency's Euclid mission is one of a raft of forthcoming large-scale cosmology surveys that will map the large-scale structure in the...

Context. While Euclid is an ESA mission specifically designed to investigate the nature of dark energy and dark matter, the planned unprecedented combination of...

Euclid will be the first space mission to survey most of the extragalactic sky in the 0.95-2.02 µm range, to a 5 σ point-source median depth of 24.4 AB mag...

The Euclid mission will conduct an extragalactic survey over 15 000 deg 2 of the extragalactic sky. The spectroscopic channel of the Near-Infrared Spectrometer...
