<br>
<br>
I would like to invite you to the following seminar

"Looking at the Universe in Colour: Commissioning and the first
results of MUSE"
<br>
Friday, 21th of November, 14:15h, F-201
<br>
<br>
Abstract:
<br>
Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer, MUSE, is a next generation
<br>
instrument installed on ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile. It is
an
<br>
integral-field unit which allows for simultaneous spectroscopic
<br>
observations of a field of 1x1 arc minute in size, providing more
than
<br>
90 000 spectra in the wavelength range of 4650 - 9300 Angstroms.
MUSE
<br>
was installed and commissioned at the beginning of the year, the
<br>
science verification observations took place during the summer,
and
<br>
from October 2014 MUSE has been offered to the community. In this
<br>
talk, I will describe the instrument and present some of the
<br>
commissioning observations, which show the high image quality of
MUSE
<br>
and its versatility of usage. I will focus on the very first
results
<br>
with MUSE, including the observations of the Hubble Deep Field
South,
<br>
the discovery of a kinematic substructure in the central galaxy in
the
<br>
Virgo Cluster, and evidence for the counter-rotation in another
giant
<br>
elliptical.
<br>
<br>
<br>
Best regards,
<br>
<br>
Ivica Smolić<br>
