ESO’s VLT Becomes Single Telescope
PARANAL, Chile, March 6, 2018 — With the first light of the ESPRESSO spectrograph using the four-unit telescope mode of the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO’s) Very Large Telescope (VLT), the device has become a single giant telescope. After extensive preparations...
Toptica Lasers Operating in ESO's Very Large Telescope
MUNICH, May 5, 2016 — Using four independent lasers from Toptica Photonics AG, the Four-Laser Guide Star Facility housed at the Paranal Observatory in Chile is now fully operational. This phase is a major step toward the completion of the Adaptive Optics Facility (AOF)....
Laser Guide Star System Installed at Very Large Telescope in Chile
MUNICH, May 22, 2015 — The first of four laser guide star systems developed by Toptica Photonics AG of Germany and MPB Communications Inc. of Canada has been installed and brought online at the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile. Previous...
ESO celebrates its 50th anniversary
Dec 1, 2012 — The European Southern Observatory (ESO) celebrated 50 years in October since the signing of its founding convention. Astronomers from five European countries – Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden – decided in 2007 to...
Storage Keeps Pace with Data from Space
Nov 1, 2012 — As imaging technology improves, space researchers are accumulating incredible amounts of image data – all of which must be transmitted and stored for analysis. There are few fields in which the challenge of image storage and analysis is more...
Marking 10 Years of Adaptive Optics at the VLT
HEIDELBERG, Germany, Nov. 30, 2011 — In November 2001, the NACO instrument — recently added to the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) in northern Chile — captured its first light. Since then, its ability to bring stellar objects into sharp...
ESO’s VLT Finds a Brilliant but Solitary Superstar
ARMAGH, Northern Ireland, May 26, 2011 — Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have found that the star VFTS 682 is about 150 times the mass of the sun. But unlike other massive stars that have thus far been found only in the crowded...
Toptica Wins ESO Contract for Laser Guide Stars
VICTOR, N.Y., June 28, 2010 — Toptica Photonics has won a €5.2 million (about $6.4 million) contract from the European Southern Observatory (ESO) to develop four continuous-wave, high-power laser guide stars for the ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Paranal, Chile.
Hubble Proves Cosmic Acceleration
LEIDEN, the Netherlands, April 5, 2010 — A group of astronomers led by Tim Schrabback of the Leiden Observatory conducted an intensive study of more than 446,000 galaxies, resulting in independent confirmation that the expansion of the universe is being accelerated by the mysterious...
Exoplanet's Spectrum Revealed
MUNICH, Germany, Jan. 13, 2010 – By studying a triple planetary system that resembles a scaled-up version of our sun’s family of planets, astronomers have obtained the first direct spectrum of a planet orbiting a distant star, a milestone in the search for life elsewhere in...
Ultrafast Astronomical Camera
GARCHING, Germany, June 22, 2009 – The next generation of instruments for ground-based telescopes took a leap forward with the development of a new ultrafast camera that can take 1500 finely exposed images per second even when observing extremely faint objects.
ESO Approves 'Extremely Large Telescope' Study
GARCHING, Germany, Dec. 12, 2006 -- The ESO Council, the governing body of the Garching-based European Southern Observatory (ESO), has authorized detailed studies for the European Extremely Large Telescope. The 57 million euro (approximately $75.4 million) studies will make it...
