The Phase Referenced Imaging and Micro-arcsecond Astrometry (PRIMA)project is currently being developed by the European Southern Observatory (ESO) and being installed on the Very Large Telescope ...

The meeting will be held at the Carl Friedrich von Siemens Foundation and at ESO. Address: Südliches Schlossrondell 23, 80638 München (in the last yellow cavalier house on the left before the side ...

We expect our users to use the web-based La Silla P2 tool (www.eso.org/p2ls) to prepare their visitor mode observations. This is the standard ESO way of operating an ...

This observing mode is the standard mode of HARPS. It is supported by the data reduction pipeline and therefore delivers the most accurate radial velocities (RV). A Thorium-Argon lamp located in a ...

For Service Mode observations that use VLT or VLTI instruments on Paranal it is now possible to design more complex observing strategies in the p2 tool with nested scheduling containers. For example a ...

The Phase 2 process begins when you have been awarded observing time and received an email from the ESO Observing Programmes Office (OPO) announcing that the allocation of time for the coming period ...

To ensure the observing efficiency and flexibility of Service Mode observing, ESO has implemented a number of rules, procedures and limitations on programmes scheduled for Service mode. Typically, ...

It might happen that one or more arms are not available for allocation due to technical problems for a certain period of time. This information is posted under 'Timeline of instrument status' on the ...

The Survey Area Definition Tool (SADT) is a tool that generates the pointing positions for each tile within a VISTA or VST survey. In addition, for VISTA, it searches the guide star catalogues and ...

Are you a PhD student eager to dive into the cutting-edge scientific world at one of the most prestigious observatories on the planet? The ESO research studentship programme offers you a chance to do ...
