Description
We present the scheme developed for the quick analysis and data quality checks on the MAGIC Cherenkov Telescope at La Palma. Due to its low energy threshold MAGIC acquires data of atmospheric showers at a rate of more than 200Hz, which translates in up to 700GB per night. A fast On-Site data reduction is needed to detect hardware problems and in many cases to decide on observation strategies. The data are automatically calibrated and pre-processed at the MAGIC site using automated scripts on multiprocessor systems. Check plots are generated, and first results are available in the morning. This system complements a quick online analysis which runs in parallel with the data acquisition.

    Study of basaltic asteroids through their phase curves
    Introduction Classified as type-V, the basaltic asteroids of the Main Belt (MB), for the most part, are connected to Vesta's dynamic family. However, since the discovery of the V-type asteroid (1459) Magnya in the outer MB, several new asteroids have been found in different regions, including V-types from inner regions not belonging to the Vesta

    NEOMIR: ESA's space-based infrared mission for NEO detection and early warning
    The Near-Earth Object Mission in the Infra-Red (NEOMIR) is the first ESA's space-based mission fully dedicated to discovering near-Earth objects (NEOs), with a focus to detect and raise early warning for the smaller objects that are coming from the Sun direction, thus nearly impossible to be detected by ground-based optical survey. NEOMIR is

    Upgrading the polarisation modulation unit of the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    The Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) is installed at the Gregor telescope at Observatorio del Teide, Spain. The instrument started observations in 2012 and underwent several upgrades in the following years. Currently, it is experiencing the most significant upgrade so far, which includes, among other things, adding two optical channels to
