AstraLux is the Lucky Imaging camera for the Calar Alto 2.2-m telescope and the 3.5-m NTT at La Silla. It allows nearly diffraction limited imaging in the SDSS i' and z' bands of objects as faint as...
Near-infrared wavefront sensing for the VLT interferometer (2008)
Hippler, Stefan, Brandner, Wolfgang, Clénet, Yann, Hormuth, Felix, Gendron, Eric, Henning, Thomas, ...
The very large telescope (VLT) interferometer (VLTI) in its current operating state is equipped with high-order adaptive optics (MACAO) working in the visible spectrum. A low-order near-infrared...
AstraLux: the Calar Alto Lucky Imaging Camera (2008)
Hormuth, Felix, Hippler, Stefan, Brandner, Wolfgang, Wagner, Karl, Henning, Thomas
AstraLux is the Lucky Imaging camera for the Calar Alto 2.2-m telescope, based on an electron-multiplying high speed CCD. By selecting only the best 1-10% of several thousand short exposure frames,...
MicroLux: high-precision timing of high-speed photometric observations (2008)
MicroLux is a GPS-based high precision and high speed timing add-on to the Calar Alto Lucky Imaging camera AstraLux. It allows timestamping of individual CCD exposures at frame rates of more than 1...

NGC 346 in the Small Magellanic Cloud. IV. Triggered star formation in the H II region N66 (2008)
Gouliermis, Dimitrios A., Chu, You-Hua, Henning, Thomas, Brandner, Wolfgang, Gruendl, Robert A., Hennekemper, Eva, ...
Stellar feedback, expanding H II regions, wind-blown bubbles, and supernovae are thought to be important triggering mechanisms of star formation. Stellar associations, being hosts of significant...
The rapid outbursting star GM Cep: an EXor in Tr 37? (2008)
Sicilia-Aguilar, Aurora, Merín, Bruno, Hormuth, Felix, Ãbrahám, Peter, Henning, Thomas, Kun, Mária, ...
We present optical, IR, and millimeter observations of the solar-type star 13-277, also known as GM Cep, in the 4 Myr old cluster Tr 37. GM Cep experiences rapid magnitude variations of more than 2...
