TNG

Involved people at OAB: Zitelli.

Zitelli (with S. Ortolani from Padova, D. Mancini from Napoli, I. Porceddu from Cagliari) is a component of a working group "site testing" for the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG). Actually, close to the Galileo Site, there are the two towers for the meteo and for the seeing monitor. The analysis of the first data coming from the meteo tower are in progress.

Zitelli (with Held from Padova) is conducting the final test on slit drilling machine for low dispersion spectrograph at the Galileo National Telescope. This Multi Objects Mode is an extended capability complementary to the real time built-in multislit facility and will make possible to obtain simultaneous spectroscopy of many tens of objects over a useful field of 6 arcminx9.5 arcmin.
