- ESO Call for Proposals for Period 79 has been released.
The next deadline (for Period 79, 1 April 2007 - 30 September 2007)
is: 29 September 2006 (12:00 noon, CEST).
Take a look at: http://www.eso.org/observing/proposals/.

- ESO 33/06 - Science Release:
Astronomers, using ESO's Very Large Telescope, have for the first
time made the link between an X-ray flash and a supernova. Such
flashes are the little siblings of gamma-ray bursts (GRB) and this
discovery suggests the existence of a population of events less
luminous than 'classical' GRBs, but possibly much more numerous.

- ESO 32/06 - Organisation Release:
The General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union (IAU),
meeting in Prague (Czech Republic), has elected the ESO Director
General, Dr. Catherine Cesarsky, as President for a three-year period
(2006-2009). The IAU is a body of distinguished professional
astronomers, founded in 1919 to promote and safeguard the science of
astronomy in all its aspects through international cooperation. It now
has almost 10 000 individual members drawn from all
continents. Dr. Cesarsky is the first woman to receive this high
distinction. At the same General Assembly, Dr. Ian Corbett, ESO's
Deputy Director General, was elected Assistant General Secretary for
2006-2009, with the expectation of becoming General Secretary in
2009-2012.

SINFONI Discovers Rapidly Forming, Large Proto-Disc Galaxies
Three Billion Years After The Big Bang --
An international group of astronomers have discovered large disc
galaxies akin to our Milky Way that must have formed on a rapid time
scale, only 3 billion years after the Big Bang. In one of these
systems, the combination of adaptive optics techniques with the new
SINFONI spectrograph on ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) resulted in a
record-breaking resolution of a mere 0.15 arcsecond, giving an
unprecedented detailed view of the anatomy of such a distant
proto-disc galaxy.

- The Large Bolometer Camera for APEX (LABOCA), a
295-element bolometer
array operating at 870ym, has successfully passed its pre-shipment review,
and will be installed on the APEX 12m telescope on Chajnantor in September
2006. ESO now invites proposals for science verification from the ESO
community. Pending successful on-sky commissioning, ESO also proposes to
schedule its share of LABOCA observing time on the telescope in October and
December 2006 as further Science Verification. All observations will
be performed
in service mode by the local APEX staff. All proposals should be sent
to cdebreuc@eso.org by noon CEST on Monday 4 September 2006.

- ESO 30/06 - Science Release:
A possible Stellar Solution to the Cosmological Lithium Problem --
Analysing a set of stars in a globular cluster with ESO's Very Large
Telescope, astronomers may have found the solution to a critical
cosmological and stellar riddle. Until now, an embarrassing question
was why the abundance of lithium produced in the Big Bang is a factor
2 to 3 times higher than the value measured in the atmospheres of old
stars. The answer, the researchers say, lies in the fact that the
abundances of elements measured in a star's atmosphere decrease with
time.

- ESO 29/06 - Science Release:
Astronomers Discover Double Planetary Mass Object --
The cast of exoplanets has an extraordinary new member. Using ESO's
telescopes, astronomers have discovered an approximately
seven-Jupiter-mass companion to an object that is itself only twice as
hefty. Both objects have masses similar to those of extra-solar giant
planets, but they are not in orbit around a star - instead they appear
to circle each other. The existence of such a double system puts
strong constraints on formation theories of free-floating planetary
mass objects.

- ESO 28/06 - Science Release:
Brown Dwarf Survives Being Swallowed --
Using ESO's Very Large Telescope, astronomers have discovered a rather
unusual system, in which two planet-size stars, of different colours,
orbit each other. One is a rather hot white dwarf, weighing a little
bit less than half as much as the Sun. The other is a much cooler, 55
Jupiter-masses brown dwarf.
