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.

    HARMONI at ELT: HIPOTEC electronics and control system
    HARMONI is the first light visible and near-IR integral field spectrograph for the ELT. It covers a large spectral range from 470nm to 2450nm with resolving powers from 3300 to 18000 and spatial sampling from 60 mas to 4 mas. It can operate in two Adaptive Optics modes - SCAO (including a High Contrast capability) and LTAO - or with NOAO. The

    GTCAO low-frequency tip-tilt offload to M2
    GTCAO is the instrument that implements Adaptive Optics on GTC. For atmospheric turbulence correction, GTCAO uses a deformable mirror. Unlike other AO systems, GTCAO does not include a dedicated mirror for low-frequency tip-tilt (TT) correction. In the absence of dedicated correction, the TT components of atmospheric turbulence are corrected by the
