Below is a list of the projects the group is involved in. High contrast imaging is important for detection and characterization of exo-planets. High contrast techniques are being developed and tested on the Adaptive Optics Testbed, to be used on E-ELT instruments. (Kenworthy, Otten). Multi-site All-Sky CAmeRA). Mascara is being developed to detect exo-planets around bright stars using off-the-shelf consumer cameras. (Snellen, Lesage, Spronck, Stuik, Otten, Kenworthy). Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer) i...

The optical/infrared astronomy instrumentation group at Leiden Observatory. Is a leading partner in a number of high profile international instrumentation projects for both ground- and space-based astronomy. The group is closely connected with other Dutch centres in academia and industry, and is actively engaged with international organisations such as ESA. Our work receives funding from NOVA. Programme, the EU Marie Curie. Scheme and Leiden Observatory. Follow the links in the menu to the left to explore.

Funded Masters Programmes | How to make an Astrophysicist
https://astrophysicsgirl.wordpress.com/funded-masters-programmes
How to make an Astrophysicist. Ad astra per aspera. Having researched endlessly for funded Masters programmes in Astrophysics (taught in English) across the world, I thought it would be a sensible idea to share what I have found. 8211; Although not exactly funded, they offer a great distance learning MSc in Astrophysics which is much cheaper than other Master courses. It also means you can study from anywhere in the world. There is also the Walraven Scholarship. 8211; A 2 year international programme foc...

Below is a list of the instrumentation at the old Observatory. Current status: Telescope hardware available and operational. Computer control demonstrated on computer. Telescope and mount installed and provisionally aligned. Several instruments available, but awaiting optical manifold for final installation. The Student Telescope is located in the West Koepel at the Old Observatory. The control room for the Student Telescope is located under the 10-duims telescope. The telescope mount is a Software Bisque.
