    No. 87 – March 1997 Important Events in Chile R. GIACCONI, Director General of ESO The political events foreseen in the December 1996 issue of The Messenger did take place in Chile in the early part of December 1996. On December 2, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Chile, Mr. Miguel Insulza, and the Director General of ESO, Professor Riccardo Giacconi, exchanged in Santiago Instruments of Ratification of the new “Interpretative, Supplementary and Amending Agreement” to the 1963 Convention between the Government of Chile and the European Southern Observatory. This agreement opens a new era of co-operation between Chilean and European Astronomers. On December 4, 1996, the “Foundation Ceremony” for the Paranal Observatory took place on Cerro Paranal, in the presence of the President of Chile, Mr. Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle, the Royal couple of Sweden, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia, the Foreign Minister of the Republic of Chile, Mr. José Miguel Insulza, the Ambassadors of the Member States, members of the of the ESO Executive, ESO staff and the Paranal contractors’ workers. The approximately 250 guests heard addresses by Dr. Peter Creo- la, President of the ESO Council, Professor Riccardo Giacconi, Direc- tor General of ESO, Foreign Minis- ter José Miguel Insulza and Presi- dent Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle. The original language version of the four addresses follows this introduction. (A translation in English of the Span- ish text is given on pages 58 and 59 in this issue of The Messenger.) A time capsule whose contents are described in Dr. Richard West's article was then deposited by Presi- dent Frei with the works being bless- ed by the Archbishop of Antofagas- ta, Monsignor Patricio Infante.

Urzua Gemini’s Instrument Clusters – A Powerful Approach to Observing Gemini’s unique instrument clusters represent what is likely the most optimized collection of astronomical instrumentation ever assembled on any single ground-based astronomical telescope. Each cluster has as many as four instruments on each telescope covering the optical, near- and mid-infrared wavelength range from 0.4 to 25 microns. The current Gemini system of instruments allows for multi- instrument queue observing because the instruments are “alive” and ready to observe at any time.

  • Formation Channels of Single and Binary Stellar-Mass Black Holes
    Chapter 1 Formation channels of single and binary stellar-mass black holes Michela Mapelli Abstract These are exciting times for binary black hole (BBH) research. LIGO and Virgo detections are progressively drawing a spectacular fresco of BBH masses, spins and merger rates. In this review, we discuss the main formation channels of BBHs from stellar evolution and dynamics. Uncertainties on massive star evolution (e.g., stellar winds, rotation, overshooting and nuclear reaction rates), core-collapse supernovae and pair instability still hamper our comprehension of the mass spectrum and spin distribution of black holes (BHs), but substantial progress has been done in the field over the last few years. On top of this, the efficiency of mass transfer in a binary system and the physics of common envelope substantially affect the final BBH demography. Dynamical processes in dense stellar systems can trigger the formation of BHs in the mass gap and intermediate-mass BHs via hierarchical BH mergers and via multiple stellar collisions. Finally, we discuss the importance of reconstructing the cosmic evolution of BBHs. 1.1 Introduction: Observational facts about gravitational waves On 2015 September 14, the LIGO interferometers [1] captured the gravitational wave (GW) signal from a binary black hole (BBH) merger [5]. This event, named GW150914, is the first direct detection of GWs, about hundred years after Ein- stein’s prediction. Over the last five years, LIGO and Virgo [21] witnessed a rapidly growing number of GW events: the second gravitational wave transient catalogue (GWTC-2, [14, 15, 16]) consists of 50 binary compact object mergers from the first (O1), the second (O2) and the first part of the third observing run (O3a) of the arXiv:2106.00699v1 [astro-ph.HE] 1 Jun 2021 Michela Mapelli Dipartimento di Fisica e Astronomia Galileo Galilei, Vicolo dell’Osservatorio 3, I-35122, Padova, Italy e-mail: [email protected] INFN, Sezione di Padova, Via Marzolo 8, I-35122, Padova, Italy 1 2 Michela Mapelli LIGO–Virgo collaboration (LVC).
