In this article the table titled "MK-type stars with planets in the habitable zone" gives the Bolometric Luminosity of the M/K stellar type stars but wouldn't a Visual Luminosity measure be more relevant as ESPRESSO only observes in the 380-686 nm wavelength range, the visible light range? Otherwise, the table doesn't show the limitations for observations with the device. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.175.6.205 ( talk) 12:53, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
The table is for comparison and reference purposes, if you find a credible source please do add it. Quantanew ( talk) 17:27, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
ESPRESSO. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than
regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors
have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the

It's apparent that the ESPRESSO consortium is focusing on updating the following site:

Besides the excellent tables, perhaps someone can offer some English text describing what this means. Why are we even discussing CODEX? It's 10 years away. Kortoso ( talk) 16:31, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
Is just a comparison of capabilities. Quantanew ( talk) 13:46, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
Is it just me or is the project's web page not functioning?
As of 4 July 2017 link works just fine for me. Though not much seems to be happening on the project's web page. Maybe they're holding back until they verify some incredibly important discovery they've made, like Earth 2.0 or maybe they're busy scientists and not website designers, who knows? Basically, no problems as far as I can tell! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.175.90.200 ( talk) 21:27, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
This instrument continues to be a challenge regarding maintaining, updating and interpreting its current status. We have this to deal with:
No, for the references cited, there is no indication that the instrument has been mounted to any VLT telescopes, achieving first telescope light. Yes, it has seen first laboratory light: [1] but there's no indication that it is at Paranal.
References
I have removed the following sentence. When you carefully read the press release, you notice that this only described the test of the relay optics from (one of) the UTs to the combined Coude focus. The instrument itself was not yet on the mountain. I agree, that this might be pretty confusing for people not familiar with the exact situation. Anyway, the stated ESPRESSO 'first light' was misleading. So I removed it. The 'first light' for some special part of the relay optic is IMHO not important enough to list here and explaining what exactly was tested for the first time on that date exceeds the reasonable limits of this article. First light on sky for the full instrument anyway has happened in the meantime. -- 184.189.232.71 ( talk) 04:01, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
Removed: ESPRESSO first light occurred on September 25, 2016, during which they spotted various objects, among them the star 60 Sgr A. [1] [2]
References
It is unclear by the text and cited references if the 4-UT mode is now active and fully functional; it was open to the scientific community in April 2019. I tagged it with a needed inline update. Cheers, Rowan Forest ( talk) 15:07, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
