Dr Michael Weber’s lecture on “ANDES – high resolution spectrograph for the ELT” from the Babelsberg Starry Nights series will be online on Thursday at 8 pm.
ESO's Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) is currently being built in Chile. ANDES is the high-resolution spectrograph for this large telescope, which will enable high-precision and stable spectroscopy from ultraviolet light (350 nm) to the near infrared (approx. 2 µm). The AIP in Potsdam is responsible for developing and building the optical-ultraviolet arm of the ANDES spectrograph, called ANDES-UBV. Dr Michael Weber is head of the ‘High Resolution Spectroscopy and Polarimetry’ section at the AIP. In his presentation, he will give a brief outline of spectroscopy in general and high-resolution echelle spectroscopy in particular and introduce the ANDES project. He will also discuss which especially interesting scientific can be investigated with the high-resolution spectrograph in the future.
Usually on the 3rd Thursday of each month, starting at 8 p.m., the lectures of the Babelsberg Starry Nights become available at
https://www.aip.de/babelsberger-sternennaechte
and via the YouTube channels "Urknall, Weltall und das Leben" (Big Bang, Universe and Life) and "videowissen" and can be viewed afterwards at any time.
