The Calibration Archive and Quick-reduction at the Tng Telescope

The TNG (Telescopio Nazionale Galileo) is a 3.5 meter telescope, derived from ESO's NTT, which will be operating at La Palma at the end of 1996. One of its most advanced features is the telescope and instruments control environment, which is closely linked to the data handling and archiving mechanism. This contribution describes the Calibration Archive, one of the archive facilities which will ...

Asteroseismology of Procyon A with SARG at TNG

We present high precision radial velocity measurements on the F5 IV star α CMi obtained by the SARG spectrograph at TNG (Telescopio Nazionale Galileo) exploiting the iodine cell technique. The time series of about 950 spectra of Procyon A taken during 6 observation nights are affected by an individual error of 1.3 m s−1. Thanks to the iodine cell technique, the spectrograph contribution to the ...

Tesis - the Tng Eros Spectroscopic Identification Survey

The epoch at which massive galaxies (Mstar > 1011M⊙) have assembled provides crucial constraints on the current galaxy formation and evolution models. The LCDM hierarchical merging model predicts that massive galaxies are assembled through mergers of preexisting disk galaxies at z≤ 1.5 (Kauffmann & Charlot 1998; Cole et al. 2000). In the alternative view massive ellipticals formed at z> 3 in a ...

Using Nir Tools for the Interfaces to the Help and Archive Systems at the Tng Telescope

Astronomers using the TNG telescope may be confronted during their observing runs with the need to access information, help les, or the archive system. In order to allow observers to eeciently access the desired information and data using an interface they are already familiar to, HTML is being used and will be used in the future. The access to the facilities at the telescope will be initially ...
