Advancement in narrow-band filters at LBC-like instruments for multiple stars populations
On demand | Presented live 20 June 2024
Abstract
The narrow-band filters based on thin layers of dielectric material present a blue shift of the transmission curve with a larger angle from the normal.
Fast and large field of view instruments limit the ability of such filters to select small spectral features that can highlight multiple star populations in globular clusters.
We will to make an instrument like the first focus one of the LBT the spearhead facility to identify the multiple populations in galactic globular clusters.
A new set of simulations has been developed to identify the best thin-layer filter to be used to separate populations with different light element abundances. We also built an optomechanical set-up to test the filter behavior in a LBC-like configuration. We present here the simulation strategy and some transmission curve obtained with the laboratory set-up.

INAF - Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova (Italy)
I hold a degree in Astronomy and currently 2nd year PhD student at the University of Padova (Itay).I'm affiliated with the INAF - Osservatorio Astronomico di Padova where I work on multiple astronomical instrumentation AIV and smaller development projects. In particular I'm strongly involved in SOXS AIT in Italy and I will be at the telescope. I'm the PI of a small project (Inaf minigrant) to improve the ground-based capability of detecting multiple populations in the galactical globular clusters.
