Description
The small and elusive Carina dSph still presents many open questions concerning its stellar populations and dynamical evolution. It presents a unique star formation history, with well separated episodes over a time of ˜10 Gyr. However, the complex star formation history does not seem to have caused a strong chemical evolution of its stellar content. Moreover, the occurrence of extra-tidal stars has not been firmly established. These might be the signature of ongoing tidal interaction with the Galaxy, or belong to a diffuse halo as suggested by recent N-body simulations. We undertook a photometric and spectroscopic investigation over a substantial fraction of the Carina body, to fully characterize its stellar content.

    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
