Description
We report on 3 Chandra ACIS-I observations containing the two M31 transient X-ray sources announced by Haberl et al. (2006, ATel #881) and followed up by Pietsch et al. (2006, ATel #899). These observations are part of our ongoing Chandra/HST M31 transient program XMMU J004215.8+411924: This High Mass X-ray Binary was first observed with Chandra for 5 ks on 2006-07-31.02 UT (10 days before its discovery with XMM).

    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
