We have developed a spherically symmetric dynamical model of a dwarf spheroidal galaxy using the Schwarzschild method. This type of modelling yields constraints...
Science case and requirements for the MOSAIC concept for a multi-object spectrograph for the European Extremely Large Telescope
Over the past 18 months we have revisited the science requirements for a multi-object spectrograph (MOS) for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT)...
Science case for 1 mas spectro-imagining in the near-infrared
We present the work developed within the science team of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer Spectro-Imager (VSI) during the Phase A studies. VSI aims at...
Science of active galactic nuclei with the GTC and CanariCam
CanariCam is the facility mid-infrared (MIR) instrument for the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC), a 10.4m telescope at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos...
Science opportunities enabled by the era of Visible Band Stellar Imaging with sub-100 μarc-sec angular resolution.
This white paper briefly summarizes stellar science opportunities enabled by ultra-high resolution (sub-100 μarc-sec) astronomical imaging in the visible (U/V)...
Science with a Wide-field 6.5-m Spectroscopic Telescope
This document describes the scientific case for a wide-field 6.5-m spectroscopic telescope. The key scientific aims are linked to two different modes of...
