Description
We performed accurate and deep NIR (J,K) photometry of the Globular Cluster (GC) 47Tuc using data collected with SOFI at New Technology Telescope (NTT) (ESO, La Silla). Data cover a significant fraction of the innermost regions of the cluster and the Color Magnitude Diagram (CMD) ranges from the red HB down to the lower Main Sequence (MS). In the faint magnitude limit, we clearly detected the knee, along the MS, caused by the Collision Induced Absorption. We found that this feature is located at J˜ 18.45 and J-K˜ 0.68 mag.

    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

    Design and manufacture of athermalized optomechanical mounts for GRANCAIN, the infrared imaging instrument for GTC's adaptive optics
    GRANCAIN (GRAN CAmara INfrarroja) is a first-light imaging instrument in the infrared J, H and K bands that will be integrated into the adaptive optics focus of the Gran Telescopio de Canarias. The purpose of the instrument is to capture SWIR diffraction-limited images for a field of view of 22x22 arcsec. The instrument boasts a telecentric optical
