Upgrade of the Paranal Astronomical Site Monitor

Published: 06 Apr 2016

The ESO astronomical site monitor (ASM) system on Paranal has undergone a major overhaul. This upgrade was required due to hardware and software obsolescence and the demands of the Adaptive Optics Facility (AOF) to measure additional atmospheric properties (altitude of atmospheric turbulence along the observing path). This upgrade also includes a new display tool of the ambient conditions.

MOONS passes Its Preliminary Design Review

Published: 05 Apr 2016

The Multi-Object Optical and Near-Infrared Spectrograph (MOONS), has officially passed the major milestone of Preliminary Design Review (PDR). MOONS will be able to deploy ~1000 fibres over a field of view of ~500 square arcminutes, the largest patrol field offered at VLT Nasmyth focus. Total wavelength coverage is 0.6тАУ1.8 ѕ®m in the medium resolution (4000тАУ6000) mode; higher (R~9000) resolution will be available for the Ca II triplet (~0.85 ѕ®m) region and one region at R~20000 in H-band.

New Release of UltraVISTA Public Survey Data

Published: 23 Mar 2016

UltraVISTA is an ultra-deep VISTA near-infrared Public Survey of the central region of the COSMOS field. This third UltraVISTA data release (DR3) comprises stacked images in YJHKs and NB118 narrow-band filters together with a five-band merged catalogue. The principal difference with respect to the previous DR2 release is a substantial increase in exposure time in all five bands (by a factor of 1.7тАУ4.6) in the four "ultra-deep stripes" regions, corresponding to an increase in depth of 0.4 тАУ 0.8 mag.
