So young and already so evolved: thanks to observations obtained at the Large Binocular Telescope, an international team of researchers coordinated by Paolo Saracco of
A team of astronomers, led by Graduate Student Ryan Pfeifle of George Mason University (GMU) in Fairfax Virginia, used observations spanning the electro-magnetic spectrum to
Diffraction limited imaging with LUCI1 is offered in a shared-risk mode. Presently, the instrument is available for reference stars in the magnitude range 3.5 to
Exciting times for LUCI1! After receiving its first light corrected by the Ground Layer Adaptive Optics ARGOS system (see our previous post), LUCI1 was again
Two posts were already published on ARGOS in this blog, the first one at the end of 2013 (where you will find more information on the ARGOS
LUCI2 on its way to its right bent Cassegrain focal station After slightly more than 5 years of operation, LUCI1, the first in the pair
It is commissioning time for the diffraction limited mode of LUCI2, the near infrared imager and multi-object spectrograph which saw first light in seeing-limited mode
LUCI2 A few weeks after LUCI2 met LUCI1 on the telescope and quite a few closed-dome (I should write enclosure) tests, it was time
LUCI2 spent its first days on the telescope close to LUCI1 for a week of tests. After its arrival on the mountain in mid-July, LUCI2
Thanks to the good work of MGIO and LBTO staff, LUCI-2 is on the mountain. The boxes are stored in the high bay area, some
