Optical Infrared Co-ordination Network for Astronomy (OPTICON)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Optical-infrared astronomy in Europe is in a state of transition and opportunity, with the goal of a viable structured European scale community in sight. A strong astronomical community requires access to state of the art infrastructures (telescopes), equipped with the best possible instrumentation, and with that access being open to all on a basis of competitive excellence. Further, the community ...

Linking the diversity of Type Ia supernovae to their progenitor systems (LDSNPS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

A detailed understanding of the progenitors and explosion physics of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) remains a missing link in their use as cosmological probes. This project aims to address two of the fundamental questions that exist about SNe Ia; is there more than one way to make a SN Ia and how does their observed diversity depends on their progenitor systems and host galaxy environments? ESO will ...

Coordinating strategic planning for European Astronomy (ASTRONET)

Start date: Jan 1, 2011, End date: Jun 30, 2015,

"Improved cooperation has brought European astronomy to front player, notably through such organisations as ESO and ESA. To continue to excel in a competitive world, Europe must also coordinate national resources in the long term and across borders between disciplines and nations.Accordingly, the goal of ASTRONET is to establish a strategic planning and coordination mechanism for all of European a ...

Massive star formation with Interferometers: Research with ALMA (MIRA)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

"Massive stars – with masses larger than 8Mo – are rare in the Galaxy. However, they dominate the energetics of galaxies, shaping their structure and impacting on their evolution. The formation of massive stars has recently become a hot topic in Astrophysics thanks to the advent of astronomical facilities operating at infrared (IR) wavelengths. These facilities have revealed that massive stars are ...

ESO Fellowship Programme for ALMA (ESO-FEL-ALMA08)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2013,

"The Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) is the major global project for ground-based astrophysics currently under construction. Europe, through the European Organization for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere (ESO), is one of the three major partners of this project. ALMA will start Early Science operations in 2010 and Full Science operations in 2012. When complete ...

Euro-VO International Cooperation Empowerment (EuroVO-ICE)

Start date: Sep 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

Astronomy has been a pioneer in the conceptualization and implementation of a science driven 'virtual infrastructure', essential to optimize the science return of the large infrastructures of the discipline. The concept of a Virtual Observatory (VObs) is that all the world's astronomical data should feel like they sit on the astronomer's desk top, analysable with a user selected workbench of tools ...
