	About La Silla
		La Silla is a 2400-m mountain, bordering the southern extremity of the Atacama desert in Chile.
		The idea of establishing a common large observatory that joined the European astronomers was born in the spring of 1953, in the mind of the renowned astronomer Walter Baade.
		In January of that same year, the road connection to La Silla was completed; then, on March 24, 1966, the dedication of the road took place with the presence of many authorities and guests, such as the Archbishop of La Serena and the ESO’s President G. Funke.

		Whilst La Silla, the first of ESO's observational facilities, remains one of the scientifically most productive observatories in the world, the most prominent new facility is the Paranal Observatory with the Very Large Telescope Array (VLT).
		The ESO La Silla Observatory is one of the world's premier astronomical observatories and the first of ESO.
		The La Silla observatory is a small, self-supporting community in the middle of the desert.

		It is famous for discovering a candidate to be farthest galaxy ever seen by humans, the Abell 1835 IR1916 galaxy, though this claim seems to be debunked by a series of new articles.
		Of the eighteen telescopes at La Silla Observatory, three are operated by ESO for use by the ESO astronomical community:
		The site also houses the 2.5m VLT Survey Telescope and 4m VISTA survey telescope with wider fields of view for surveying large areas of sky uniformly.

		It is the goal of the present Report to carry the 1993 plans for La Silla forward to match the content and time scale of the VLT project as currently known, guiding La Silla towards the steady-state situation that will prevail after the year 2000.
		Among existing telescopes on La Silla, there are several foci where wide-field imaging could in principle be implemented: (i) Schmidt telescope; (ii) 3.6-m Prime Focus, (iii) 3.6-m f/8, (iv) NTT Nasmyth focus; and (v) 2.2-m f/8.
		The future of AO on La Silla after its implementation on the VLT must be reassessed after the precise VLT AO programme, the technical status, and the resources have been clarified.

		With the assistance of an external advisor, the staff on La Silla set up a management system during the past year, and then developed this to a stage where it was ready for certification.
		The vision: “La Silla will be a magic place a place where dreams come true” is held and practiced in a pronounced manner by the workforce in every service area and department.

	Distant world in peril discovered from La Silla
		The presence of exoplanets in orbit around giant stars, some of which will ventually perish into their central star (be "cannibalized"), provides a possible explanation of the anomalous abundance of certain chemical elements that is observed in the atmospheres of some stars, cf.
		In particular, detailed spectra have been obtained by means of the advanced FEROS spectrograph on the 1.52-m telescope that is installed at the ESO La Silla Observatory in Chile, cf.
		It has been built by the Geneva Observatory in collaboration with ESO and will be dedicated to the search for exoplanets.

		The skies above the Andean foothills between La Serena and Copiapó are recognized as being the clearest in the southern hemisphere, a fact which has led the world's great astronomical laboratories to construct giant observatories here.
		The European Southern Observatory, representing a coalition of eight European nation, maintains La Silla Observatory and Paranal Observatory further north; here the ESO is busy at work on the last of four 8.2 meter telescopes which together comprise the Very Large Telescope (VLT).

	ESO's Two Observatories Merge
		La Silla, north of the town of La Serena, has been the bastion of the organization's facilities since 1964.
		Moreover, the infrastructure of La Silla is still used by many of the ESO member states for targeted projects such as the Swiss 1.2-m Euler telescope and the robotic telescope specialized in the follow-up of gamma-ray bursts detected by satellites, the Italian REM (Rapid Eye Mount).
		In addition, La Silla is in charge of the APEX (Atacama Pathfinder Experiment) 12-m sub-millimetre telescope which will soon start routine observations at Chajnantor, the site of the future Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA).

	Spotlight: Sun and Bass
		An international team of astronomers has observed xi Hya with the Swiss 1.2 metre Euler telescope at the European Southern Observatory's La Silla Observatory, in Chile, and discovered that the star behaves like a giant sub-ultra-bass instrument.
		Asteroseismology hopes to become the scientific method of choice for reading the underlying score of such changes and providing a more detailed understanding of stellar interiors and the overall evolution of stars.
		The team led by Conny Aerts of the Catholic University of Leuven, in Belgium, Soeren Frandsen of the University of Aarhus in Denmark, and Fabien Carrier of the Geneva Observatory in Sauverny, Switzerland and their colleagues used the telescope's CORALIE spectrograph to measure the oscillation velocities of the stellar surface.

	Sky brightness at the ESO La Silla Observatory 1978 to 1988 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		We have measured the sky brightness at the European Southern Observatory (ESO), La Silla, during 40 moonless nights in the years 1978 - 1988.
		We have found that the long-term variations are well correlated with the solar activity, for which the 10.7 cm radio flux is used as a measure.
		Finally, based on the tight correlation of the airglow variations in two pass bands near 4000 Å we propose a new method for the separation of airglow and zodiacal light contributions.

	Judgment 1854 (ILOAT) - Administrative Tribunal
		The complainant, a Chilean who was born in 1947, joined the ESO in 1969, under an indefinite contract as an administrative assistant at its La Silla observatory in the Chilean Andes.
		In its reply the Observatory submits that an organisation "may revise and restructure its operations" and "take the necessary decisions affecting its staff" even if it means terminating appointments of staff on indefinite contracts.
		In 1991, the ESO Council decided to restructure its activities at La Silla in view of the development of the Paranal VLT, which was still under construction.

		THE ESO LA SILLA OBSERVATORY This is an aerial view of the ESO La Silla observatory in the Chilean Atacama desert, from where the collision between comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 and giant planet Jupiter will be intensively observed with many telescopes.
		La Silla is connected to the outer world by means of the Chilean microwave link of which an antenna tower is seen to the right.
		On the photo, this complex instrument is seen in mid-June 1994, towards the end of a four-month preparatory test phase at the photometric telescope of the Munich Astronomical Observatory on the top of Mount Wendelstein, some 50 km south-east of Munich.

		Besides the reflection of the horizon (the darker part in the top of the dish) and the Milky Way (which runs as a thin cloud from the bottom of the dish up to the horizon) there is also a yellow area of light to the right.
		This is the reflection of the city lights of the city of La Serena, about 100 km away and too faint to disturb observations of celestial objects high above La Silla.
		At completion, it will be the largest and most sensitive astronomical observatory of its kind, being comprised of some sixty-four 12-m antennas located on a 10 km wide plateau at a 5000-m elevation in the Atacama Desert.

		The vision: “La Silla will be a magic place — a place where dreams come true” is held and practiced in a pronounced manner by the workforce in every service area and department.
		Perhaps this innovative step by La Silla will spur further ESO stations and observatories on, so that others will follow the ISO 9001 certification of location 29° 15’ south and 70° 44’ west.
