Description
We propose a 1.4 hr program to observe, with IRS, the near-Earth asteroid 161273 (1999 JU3), the primary target of two proposed spacecraft missions: the European Space Agency (ESA) MARCO POLO sample return mission and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) Hyabusa-2 mission. These observations will provide characterization of the composition and thermophysical properties of this distinctive asteroid.

    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

    HARMONI at ELT: verification tests of opto-mechanical mounts for HARMONI preoptics in cryogenic environment
    HARMONI is the high angular optical and near-IR integral field spectrograph (IFS) for the ELT. The instrument covers a large spectral range from 470 to 2450nm with resolving powers from 3300 to 18000 and spatial sampling from 60 to 4mas. A workhorse instrument designed to operate in two Adaptive Optics modes - Single-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (SCAO
