Description
We have embarked on a program to directly compare spectroscopic and evolutionary masses with those obtained from a combination of spectroscopic and photometric orbital solutions for O-type binary systems. The ability to directly determine the spectroscopic masses of the individual components of O-type binary systems has been difficult, because of the severe line blending that is present in these systems. Doppler tomography is an iterative scheme, that uses an ensemble of spectra to reconstruct the individual component spectra. These individual spectra can then be analyzed.

    Phase diversity application on the EST MCAO testbench
    Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a

    First light of the upgraded Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    For more than ten years, the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) has been the infrared spectropolarimeter on the Gregor telescope since its inauguration in 2012. The instrument mainly performs polarimetric observations of the wavelength regions at 1083 and 1565nm, which have high scientific potential. There, observers can find spectral lines that
