Espresso, a new great spectrograph for exoplanet

Post by Olivier GARDE »

Yesterday, we (Olivier T., François C. Thierry L. and me) had the opportunity to visit the assembling hall of the new spectrograph ESPRESSO at Geneva observatory. (Thanks Alexandre and Francesco !!!)

This spectrograph is dedicated to discover small exo-planetary like earth and will be set up on the four VLT at Paranal in Chile in 2017.
