Our successful record of observing proposal continues also in 2024! We managed to obtain highly competitive observing time in two of the largest facilities in the world. We are going to use the FORS2 instrument at 8.2m ESO/VLT, as well as OSIRIS at 10.4m GTC. The granted time is ~17.5 …
Gonzalo Munoz-Sanchez and Evangelia Christodoulou traveled this November to Chile, and more specifically to the ESO’s Very Large Telescope facility in Paranal. The purpose of their trip was to get the data for a project that was awarded ~1.5 nights at the very competitive FORS2 instrument. The goal was to …
Another successful ESO proposal! We managed to get about 1.5 nights for cycle P112, and in visitor mode! So, now that we are free to travel, we will have the PhD students Gonzalo Munoz-Sanchez (PI of the project) and Evangelia Christodoulou to travel to Paranal and observe from there. The …
For our observing needs we require the largest and the most modern facilities in both hemispheres (to obtain data for both our Southern and Northern galaxies in our sample). For this reason we have managed to achieve time at both GTC and ESO telescopes. For the period P111 of ESO …
Around Christmas of 2021 Santa brought us two gifts, one just before the holidays and another … just after! We are definitely not disappointed! Two of our proposals have been granted observing time (while another one at ESO didn’t make it this time). We got 4.2 h with FORS2 multislit …
2020 has been a crazy year with a lot of restrictions, cancellations, and remote working. Observatories have been affected also, with many facilities forced to stop operations and shut down for a long time. Although we have been successful with obtaining telescope time at ESO and GTC, we faced a …
Success! We just got notified that our observing proposal for FORS at 8.2m VLT has passed with a high grade. Although we got just a bit less time than what we asked for (39 hours instead of 43) we will obtain many useful data. Let’s go plan these observations now!
