Designed and constructed at Observatoire Midi-Pyrénées (OMP) in France, ESPaDOnS, the new generation stellar spectropolarimeter, is fully operational and accessible to the whole CFHT community since semester 2005a. Totalling about 40% of the requested time in 2005 (excluding CFHT-LS), ESPaDOnS appears as the most popular CFHT instrument. A total of about 80 scientific nights were already allocated with ESPaDOnS since Feb. 2005; several scientific papers resulting from the first observations are already in press or submitted. An ADS list of selected published papers about ESPaDOnS and ESPaDOnS results is available here. |
