X-shooter Near-IR Spectrograph Arm Realisation
X-shooter is a new high-efficiency spectrograph observing the complete spectral range of 300-2500 nm in a single exposure, with a spectral resolving power R>5000. The instrument will be located at the Cassegrain focus of one of the VLT UTs and consists of three spectrographs: UV, VIS and Near-IR. This paper addresses the design, hardware realization and performance of the Near-IR spectrograph o...
متن کاملObservations of Very High Energy Gamma-Rays during Moonlight and Twilight with the MAGIC Telescope
We study the capability of the MAGIC telescope to observe under moderate moonlight. TeV γray signals from the Crab nebula were detected with the MAGIC telescope during periods when the Moon was above the horizon and during twilight. This was accomplished by increasing the trigger discriminator thresholds. No change is necessary in the high voltage settings since the camera PMTs were especially ...
متن کاملStudies of the Influence of Moonlight on Observations with the MAGIC Telescope
The ground-based imaging atmospheric Cherenkov technique is currently the most powerful observation method for very high energy gamma rays. With its specially designed camera and readout system, the MAGIC Telescope is capable of observing also during nights with a comparatively high level of night-sky background light. This allows to extend the MAGIC duty cycle by 30% compared to dark-night obs...

متن کاملASCA Observations of OAO 1657−415 and its Dust-Scattered X-Ray Halo
We report on two ASCA observations of the high-mass X-ray binary pulsar OAO 1657−415. A short observation near mid-eclipse caught the source in a lowintensity state, with a weak continuum and iron emission dominated by the 6.4-keV fluorescent line. A later, longer observation found the source in a high-intensity state and covered the uneclipsed through mid-eclipse phases. In the high-intensity ...
