Description
The effect of temperature fluctuations in the spectra of ionized nebulae was firstly explored by Peimbert (1967). Since then, the problem of their existence has remained an open question. In fact, there are observations and models that argue both in favor and against such fluctuations and these are reviewed in this paper. We also discuss the mechanisms that could produce such fluctuations and their possible presence and effects in extragalactic objects.

    HARMONI at ELT: HIPOTEC electronics and control system
    HARMONI is the first light visible and near-IR integral field spectrograph for the ELT. It covers a large spectral range from 470nm to 2450nm with resolving powers from 3300 to 18000 and spatial sampling from 60 mas to 4 mas. It can operate in two Adaptive Optics modes - SCAO (including a High Contrast capability) and LTAO - or with NOAO. The

    GTCAO low-frequency tip-tilt offload to M2
    GTCAO is the instrument that implements Adaptive Optics on GTC. For atmospheric turbulence correction, GTCAO uses a deformable mirror. Unlike other AO systems, GTCAO does not include a dedicated mirror for low-frequency tip-tilt (TT) correction. In the absence of dedicated correction, the TT components of atmospheric turbulence are corrected by the
