Description
We report on recent IR observations of the Be/X-ray binary system SAX J2103.5+4545/ CGS 03588-00834, obtained with the 1.52 m Carlos Sánchez Telescope (Observatorio de Izaña, Tenerife, Spain), and on the evolution of the H-alpha equivalent width for this system measured with the spectrograph Albireo, at the 1.5 m telescope of the Observatorio de Sierra Nevada (Granada, Spain). Observations from 2011 December 26 up to 2012 June 10 showed and IR enhancement of the optical counterpart CGS 03588-00834, with the brightness varying from J = 11.90 +/- 0.05 mag, H = 11.51 +/- 0.06 mag and Ks = 11.33 +/- 0.08 mag (MJD 55921.0), to J = 11.02 +/- 0.06 mag, H = 10.61 +/- 0.03 mag and Ks = 10.3 +/- 0.1 mag (MJD 56088.0).

    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
