The opto-mechanical parts of the instrument are all contained within a cryostat, operated at a temperature of 120K, while the electronics are on the Nasmyth platform and inside the cable rotator ...

Extensive extinction measurements were made by Dr. H. Tug, using the 0.6-m Bochum telescope (see below). No correlation was found between extinction coefficients and direction of observation, and ...

The FEROS instrument is a state-of-the-art bench-mounted, high-resolution, environmentally controlled, astronomical Échelle spectrograph. It is opertated at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in ...

The 2.2m telescope at La Silla has been in operation since early 1984 and is on indefinite loan to ESO from the Max Planck Gesellschaft. The telescope time is shared between the MPI and ESO Observers.

Instrument Science Team: Fernando Comeron (ESO, Chair), Stephane Charlot (IAP), Andrea Cimatti(Bologna), Jean-Paul Kneib (OAMP), Konrad Kuijken (Leiden) Within the next few years photometric redshifts ...

HARPS, the High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher at the ESO La Silla 3.6m telescope is dedicated to the discovery of extrasolar planets. It is a fibre-fed high resolution echelle spectrograph.

Proposals for observing time on all facilities of the La Silla Paranal Observatory (VLT/I, NTT, 3.6m) must be submitted using the p1 web system: The new p1 user interface collects the same information ...
