828 followers · 527 posts · Server astrodon.socialJust woke up from a crazy #night observing #HIP41378 with so many instruments. Quick updated status (from what I just red):
- photometry: so far it seems only @hubble86 got a good weather during the expected ingress 🤞
- spectroscopy: data from #CARMENES / #CalarAlto, #HARPS-N / #TNG & #ESPRESSO / #ESO are in my mailbox. ✅
No news yet from the US-based observatories (and India who haven't started observing yet).
We are still IN TRANSIT.

Good news ! after some fear because of strong wind, @JuliaVSeidel, is currently observing #HIP41378 with #ESPRESSO / #ESO-#VLT. Below is the view of the star (in orange) in the VLT focal plane entering the fiber feeding the light to the spectrograph.
I also got good news from #CalarAlto where they managed to observe the target under very good and stable #conditions.
I am not aware of a transit detection in photometry over Europe yet. Weather wasn't great for photometry.

828 followers · 527 posts · Server astrodon.socialThe night is getting to its end over #Europe. Here is the status of the #HIP41378 f campaign so far:
- #HauteProvence observatory: we got ONE (likely out-of-transit) spectrum through a hole in the clouds
- #CalarAlto: all-sky camera showed stars all the night. I've not heard back from the observatory yet, but it looks good
- #LaPalma had lot of cirrus passing. Likely a killer for photometry, but OK for spectroscopy. 🤞
Now, it's time for #ESO to start the show !

First, #European observatories:
- #Wendelstein obs. 🟠
- #SOPHIE / #HauteProvence 🟠
- #CARMENES / #CalarAlto 🟢
- #HARPS-N / #LaPalma 🟠
The #weather #forecast (white means clouds, blue means rain) at the time of observations does not look very good. 🤞 for better than expected weather conditions.
Calar Alto 🇪🇸 might still be OK.
