  • Precipitable water vapour forecasting: a tool for optimizing IR observations at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory
    We validate the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model for precipitable water vapour (PWV) forecasting as a fully operational tool for optimizing astronomical infrared observations at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (ORM). For the model validation, we used GNSS-based (Global Navigation Satellite System) data from the PWV monitor located at

  • Planet formation imager: project update
    The Planet Formation Imager (PFI) is a near- and mid-infrared interferometer project with the driving science goal of imaging directly the key stages of planet formation, including the young proto-planets themselves. Here, we will present an update on the work of the Science Working Group (SWG), including new simulations of dust structures during

  • Pierced mirrors in ultrastable spectrographs
    Pierced mirrors are used in high resolution and ultrastable spectrographs to feed guiding cameras and to improve the target stability. This paper describes the concept, design, manufacture, test and integration of ESPRESSO pierced mirrors which are part of the Fiber Link subsystem. ESPRESSO is a spectrograph located in the Coude Laboratory of VLT

  • Optical alignment of the high-precision UV spectro-polarimeter (CLASP2)
    Chromospheric LAyer Spectro-Polarimeter (CLASP2) is our next sounding rocket experiment after the success of Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha Spectro-Polarimeter (CLASP1). CLASP2 is scheduled to launch in 2019, and aims to achieve high precision measurements ( 0.1 %) of the linear and circular polarizations in the Mg ii h and k lines near the 280 nm

  • Observation of proton-tagged, central (semi)exclusive production of high-mass lepton pairs in pp collisions at 13 TeV with the CMS-TOTEM precision proton spectrometer
    The process pp → p ℓ + ℓ -p(*), with ℓ + ℓ - a muon or an electron pair produced at midrapidity with mass larger than 110 GeV, has been observed for the first time at the LHC in pp collisions at √{s}=13 TeV. One of the two scattered protons is measured in the CMS-TOTEM precision proton spectrometer (CT-PPS), which operated for the first time in

  • Nuclear modification factor of D0 mesons in PbPb collisions at √{sNN } = 5.02TeV
    The transverse momentum (pT) spectrum of prompt D0 mesons and their antiparticles has been measured via the hadronic decay channels D0 →K-π+ and D‾0 →K+π- in pp and PbPb collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV per nucleon pair with the CMS detector at the LHC. The measurement is performed in the D0 meson pT range of 2-100GeV/ c and in the
