FRIDÁs mechanisms control system structure and tests
FRIDA will be a near infrared imager and integral field spectrograph covering the wavelength range from 0.9 to 2.5 microns. FRIDA will work in two observing...
Fried's parameter derived from observations of granulation outside the disk centre
A new method has recently been developed to obtain the Fried's parameter from observations of granulation outside the disk center, based on the different...
From CM Draconis to the Crowded Field BW3: Aspects of the Search
Having completed a 1000 hour search for terrestrial planets (down to 2.5-Earth-Radii, i.e., planets 1% the size of Jupiter) in the circumstellar habitable zone...
From Deterministic to Probabilistic Population Synthesis (Why Synthesis Models are not what we thought they were, and how they can be much more than that)
For a number of reasons, the properties of integrated stellar populations are distributed. Traditional synthesis models usually return the mean value of such...
CODEX and ESPRESSO are concepts for ultra-stable, high-resolution spectrographs at the E-ELT and VLT, respectively. Both instruments are well motivated by...
