Second Generation Deformable Secondary Mirror Phase A Study Kicked-off

Published: 27 Aug 2024

On the 16th April 2024, the ESO Directors Team approved a Phase A project to investigate the possibility of installing a second-generation deformable secondary mirror (2GDSM) at the VLT. In addition to providing a full cost and feasibility estimate, the Phase A study will evaluate the best location for the 2GDSM, by investigating the technical and scientific impact of possible combinations of instruments.

Upcoming Releases of ALMA Observatory Project Data for "A 5-pc-Scale Study of Molecular Clouds in the Antennae" and "B3 observation of a super-deep field in HDF-S"

Published: 26 Aug 2024

The ALMA Observatory is starting the release process of the data acquired in the Observatory Projects 2022.A.00032.S ("A 5-pc-Scale Study of Molecular Clouds in the Antennae") and 2022.A.00034.S ("B3 observation of a super-deep field in HDF-S"). The status of the data delivery can be checked through the corresponding link for each project. The same links can be used to download the data once they are delivered. These ALMA Science Archive links can also be accessed from the main page for the Observatory Projects.

Completion of the ALMA Development Study on the Atmospheric Model

Published: 23 Aug 2024

A development study aimed at validating and improving the current atmospheric radiative transfer model implemented for ALMA (atmospheric transmission model, ATM) has been successfully completed. The model is important for both planning and helping in the calibration of ground-based observations at millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths.

A Memorial for Tom Marsh on La Silla

Published: 23 Aug 2024

On 16 September 2022, Tom Marsh – the founding professor of astrophysics at the University of Warwick – was reported missing on La Silla. On 10 November 2022, the Chilean authorities announced that they had found Tom’s body approximately 2.5 km from the summit. Tom’s family, friends and colleagues, with the considerable help of ESO staff, have recently installed a memorial for him on La Silla.

ESO Fellowship Programme 2025

Published: 23 Aug 2024

ESO’s prestigious postdoctoral fellowship programme in both Garching (Germany) and Santiago (Chile) offers outstanding early-career scientists the opportunity to further develop their independent research programmes. From exoplanets to cosmology, observational, theoretical and fundamental astrophysics, these are all areas where ESO Fellows can benefit from a highly dynamic scientific environment, at some of the most advanced ground-based telescopes in the world. Do watch ESOCast 165 to hear what previous ESO fellows have to say about the fellowship programme or watch the virtual tour to ESO’s premises from 2020 or 2021 where young scientists could ask questions about the fellowship programme.

ESO Workshop "Towards New Frontiers: The Astrochemical Journey from Young Stellar Nurseries to Exoplanets", Garching bei München (Germany), 10-14 March 2025

Published: 23 Aug 2024

The workshop will focus on understanding the chemical composition and evolution of young star and planet-forming systems, leveraging recent advancements in observational techniques from facilities like ALMA, NOEMA, VLA and JWST. Key questions include how molecular content evolves and influences exoplanet chemistry. The workshop aims to explore current knowledge and limitations, foster collaboration, and provide insights into future observational advancements with upcoming ESO facilities and new instruments. The workshop will take place at ESO Garching (Germany), from 10 to 14 March 2025. Further information including the rationale, the program and the list of invited speakers, can be found at the workshop webpage. Registration and abstract submission will open on October 1.
