These observations are the first to be obtained during a reflaring phase. We collected spectroscopic data during the beginning of reflaring of the 2019 outburst and we compare them to previous datasets, taken at different epochs both of the same outburst and across the years. In order to do so, we also present spectra of the source taken during quiescence in 2007, one year before the next outburst. We made use of data taken by the Very Large Telescope (VLT) X-shooter spectrograph on August 31, 2019, three weeks after the outburst peak. For flux calibration, we used photometric data taken during the same night by the 1m telescopes from the Las Cumbres Observatory network that are located in Chile. We compare our spectra to the quiescent data taken by the VLT-FORS1 spectrograph in September 2007. We inspected the spectral energy distribution by fitting our data with a multi-colour accretion disk model and sampled the posterior probability density function for the model parameters with a Markov-Chain Monte Carlo algorithm. We find the optical spectra of the 2019 outburst to be unusually featureless, with no emission lines present despite the high resolution of the instrument. Fitting the UV-optical spectral energy distribution with a disk plus irradiated star model results in a very large value for the inner disk radius of $\sim 5130 \pm 240$ km, which could suggest that the disk has been emptied of material during the outburst, possibly accounting for the emission-less spectra. Alternatively, the absence of emission lines could be due to a significant contribution of the jet emission at optical wavelengths. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2411.04828v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2411.04828v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 7 November, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> November 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Accepted for publication by A&A, 7 pages, 8 figures, 2 tables</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.17382">arXiv:2407.17382</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.17382">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2407.17382">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics">astro-ph.IM</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1117/12.3019190">10.1117/12.3019190 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Final Alignment and Image Quality Test for the Acquisition and Guiding System of SOXS </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Araiza-Duran%2C+J+A">J.

It will be dedicated to the follow-up of any kind of transient events, ensuring fast time, high efficiency, and availability. It consists of a central structure (common path) that supports two spectrographs optimized for the UV-Visible and a Near-Infrared range. Attached to the common path is the Acquisition and Guiding Camera system (AC), equipped with a filter wheel that can provide science-grade imaging and moderate high-speed photometry. The AC Unit was integrated and aligned during the summer months of 2022 and has since been mounted in the NTTs telescope simulator. This work gives an update on the Acquisition Camera Unit status, describes the Image Quality Tests that were performed, and discusses the AC Optical Performance. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2407.17382v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2407.17382v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 24 July, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">SPIE Proceedings Volume 13096, Ground-based and Airborne Instrumentation for Astronomy X; 1309672 (2024)</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.17302">arXiv:2407.17302</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.17302">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2407.17302">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics">astro-ph.IM</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> The integration of the SOXS control electronics towards the PAE </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Colapietro%2C+M">Mirko Colapietro</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=D%27Orsi%2C+S">Sergio D'Orsi</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Capasso%2C+G">Giulio Capasso</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Savarese%2C+S">Salvatore Savarese</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Schipani%2C+P">Pietro Schipani</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Marty%2C+L">Laurent Marty</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Sanchez%2C+R+Z">Ricardo Zanmar Sanchez</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Aliverti%2C+M">Matteo Aliverti</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Battaini%2C+F">Federico Battaini</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Di+Filippo%2C+S">Simone Di Filippo</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Santhakumari%2C+K+K+R">Kalyan Kumar Radhakrishnan Santhakumari</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Ricci%2C+D">Davide Ricci</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Salasnich%2C+B">Bernardo Salasnich</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Campana%2C+S">Sergio Campana</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Claudi%2C+R">Riccardo Claudi</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Araiza-Duran%2C+J">Jose Araiza-Duran</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Baruffolo%2C+A">Andrea Baruffolo</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Ami%2C+S+B">Sagi Ben Ami</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Bichkovsky%2C+A">Alex Bichkovsky</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Brucalassi%2C+A">Anna Brucalassi</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Cosentino%2C+R">Rosario Cosentino</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=D%27Alessio%2C+F">Francesco D'Alessio</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=D%27Avanzo%2C+P">Paolo D'Avanzo</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Di+Benedetto%2C+R">Rosario Di Benedetto</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Genoni%2C+M">Matteo Genoni</a> , et al.

SOXS is designed as a single-object spectroscopic facility and features a high-efficiency spectrograph with two arms covering the spectral range of 350-2000 nm and a mean resolving power of approximately R=4500. It will conduct UV-visible and near-infrared follow-up observations of astrophysical transients, drawing from a broad pool of targets accessible through the streaming services of wide-field telescopes, both current and future, as well as high-energy satellites. The instrument will cater to various scientific objectives within the astrophysical community, each entailing specific requirements for observation planning. SOXS will operate at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) in La Silla, without the presence of astronomers on the mountain. This poses a unique challenge for the scheduling process, demanding a fully automated algorithm that is autonomously interacting with the appropriate databases and the La Silla Weather API, and is capable of presenting the operator not only with an ordered list of optimal targets (in terms of observing constraints) but also with optimal backups in the event of changing weather conditions. This imposes the necessity for a scheduler with rapid-response capabilities without compromising the optimization process, ensuring the high quality of observations and best use of the time at the telescope. We thus developed a new highly available and scalable architecture, implementing API Restful applications like Docker Containers, API Gateway, and Python-based Flask frameworks. We provide an overview of the current state of the scheduler, which is now ready for the approaching on-site testing during Commissioning phase, along with insights into its web interface and preliminary performance tests. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2407.17262v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2407.17262v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 25 July, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 24 July, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2024. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.17245">arXiv:2407.17245</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.17245">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2407.17245">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics">astro-ph.IM</span> </div> <div class="is-inline-block" style="margin-left: 0.5rem"> <div class="tags has-addons"> <span class="tag is-dark is-size-7">doi</span> <span class="tag is-light is-size-7"><a class="" href="https://doi.org/10.1117/12.3019853">10.1117/12.3019853 <i class="fa fa-external-link" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></span> </div> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Characterisation and assessment of the SOXS Spectrograph UV-VIS Detector System </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Cosentino%2C+R">R.

SOXS will be a single object spectroscopic facility for the ESO-NTT 3.6-m telescope, made by two arms high efficiency spectrographs, able to cover the spectral range 350 2050 nm with a mean resolving power R~4500. In particular the NIR arm is a cryogenic echelle cross-dispersed spectrograph spanning the 780-2050 nm range. We describe the integration and alignment method performed to assemble the different opto-mechanical elements and their installation on the NIR vacuum vessel, which mostly relies on mechanical characterization. The tests done to assess the image quality, linear dispersion and orders trace in laboratory conditions are summarized. The full optical performance verification, namely echellogram format, image quality and resulting spectral resolving power in the whole NIR arm (optical path and science detector) is detailed. Such verification is one of the most relevant prerequisites for the subsequent full instrument assembly and provisional acceptance in Europe milestone, foreseen in 2024. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2407.17244v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2407.17244v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 24 July, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">SPIE Proceedings Volume 13096, Ground-based and Airborne Instrumentation for Astronomy X; 130962T (2024)</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2407.17242">arXiv:2407.17242</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.17242">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2407.17242">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics">astro-ph.IM</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Earth and Planetary Astrophysics">astro-ph.EP</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena">astro-ph.HE</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> The SOXS Instrument Control Software approaching the PAE </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Ricci%2C+D">Davide Ricci</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Salasnich%2C+B">Bernardo Salasnich</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Baruffolo%2C+A">Andrea Baruffolo</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Achr%C3%A9n%2C+J">Jani Achr茅n</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Aliverti%2C+M">Matteo Aliverti</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Araiza-Dur%C3%A1n%2C+J+A">Jos茅 A.

SOXS is a single object spectrograph offering a wide simultaneous spectral coverage from U- to H-band. Although such an instrument may have potentially a large variety of applications, the consortium designed it with a clear science case: it is going to provide the spectroscopic counterparts to the ongoing and upcoming imaging surveys, becoming one of the main follow-up instruments in the Southern hemisphere for the classification and characterization of transients. The NTT+SOXS system is specialized to observe all transients and variable sources discovered by imaging surveys with a flexible schedule maintained by the consortium, based on a remote scheduler which will interface with the observatory software infrastructure. SOXS is realized timely to be highly synergic with transients discovery machines like the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. The instrument has been integrated and tested in Italy, collecting and assembling subsystems coming from all partners spread over six countries in three continents. The first preparatory activities in Chile have been completed at the telescope. This article gives an updated status of the project before the shipping of the instrument to Chile. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2407.17241v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2407.17241v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 24 July, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2024. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">SPIE Astronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation, 2024, Yokohama, Japan</span> </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Journal ref:</span> Proc.

SOXS will be a single object spectroscopic facility, consisting of a two-arms high-efficiency spectrograph covering the spectral range 350-2000 nanometer with a mean resolving power R$\approx$4500. SOXS will be uniquely dedicated to the UV-visible and near infrared follow up of astrophysical transients, with a very wide pool of targets available from the streaming services of wide-field telescopes, current and future. This instrument will serve a variety of scientific scopes in the astrophysical community, with each scope eliciting its specific requirements for observation planning, that the observing scheduler has to meet. Due to directions from the European Southern Observatory (ESO), the instrument will be operated only by La Silla staff, with no astronomer present on the mountain. This implies a new challenge for the scheduling process, requiring a fully automated algorithm that should be able to present the operator not only with and ordered list of optimal targets, but also with optimal back-ups, should anything in the observing conditions change. This imposes a fast-response capability to the scheduler, without compromising the optimization process, that ensures good quality of the observations. In this paper we present the current state of the scheduler, that is now almost complete, and of its web interface. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2209.07181v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2209.07181v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 15 September, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> September 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">Accepted for publication in SPIE Astronomical Telescope and Instrumentation Conference proceedings - Montreal (Canada) July 2022</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.12677">arXiv:2012.12677</a> <span> [<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2012.12677">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2012.12677">other</a>] </span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics">astro-ph.IM</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> The SOXS scheduler for remote operation at LaSilla:Concept and design </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Landoni%2C+M">Marco Landoni</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Young%2C+D">Dave Young</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Marty%2C+L">Laurent Marty</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Asquini%2C+L">Laura Asquini</a>, <a href="/search/?searchtype=author&query=Smartt%2C+S+J">Stephen J.

We then evaluate the column densities of the events in the updated sample, in order to compare them with the NH distribution of LGRBs, using the sample BAT6ext (Arcodia et al. 2016). We rely on Monte Carlo simulations of the two populations and compare the computed NH distributions with a two sample Kolmogorov Smirnov (K-S) test. We then study how the K-S probability varies with respect to the redshift range we consider. We find that the K-S probability keeps decreasing as redshift increases until at z$\sim$1.8 the probability that short and long GRBs come from the same parent distribution drops below 1$\%$. This testifies for an observational difference among the two populations. This difference may be due to the presence of highly absorbed LGRBs above z$\sim$1.3, which have not been observed in the SGRB sample yet, although this may be due to our inability to detect them, or to the relatively small sample size. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1903.09041v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1903.09041v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">△ Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 21 March, 2019; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2019. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">7 pages, 3 figures, 1 table.
