Ottenute con il @LBTObs e il Very Large Telescope @ESO le immagini dell'asteroide (44) Nysa con la più alta risoluzione mai raggiunta. Com'è fatto? Tre lobi e una luna.

La foto di maggio del calendario INAF.
Se si volessero ottenere immagini con la massima risoluzione teorica possibile? La risposta arriva da due strumenti, Shark-Nir e Shark-Vis, che trovano posto sul @LBTObs in Arizona (Usa).

“Queste persone lavorano nel buio guardando le stelle”, dice il visual artist Renato Cerisola, dunque la sua idea è stata quella di ritrarle “nel buio più totale, una lucina da trekking come unica fonte di luce”. La mostra su @LBTObs è al @FDellaScienza.

Using telescopes to spot, identify, and study asteroids is a tad more complex than it sounds.
We sat down with Al from Large Binocular Telescope to dissect the tech that allows us to make sense of these celestial bodies.

Need to see some asteroids millions of miles away? You'll need a telescope. A very large telescope. 🔭
This week on Roid Rage, we're joined by Al Conrad, one of the OGs of observational astronomy and a key figure behind the Large Binocular Telescope. New episode is live now!

We combine:
👉 spectropolarimetry: @LBTObs / @PicduMidi
👉 X-ray data: ROSAT / @chandraxray / @ESA_XMM
👉 rotation periods: @MtWilsonObs
👉 stellar properties: @NASA_TESS / SED fitting
to estimate the wind braking torque for each star.

With signal to noise of over 100, and the two independent telescopes of @LBTObs operating simultaneously, the constraints on HII 1348B are quite strong!

The @LBTObs recently captured the highest-resolution images of Io ever taken by an Earth-based instrument.
