Description
The near-infrared spectrograph LIRIS was first commissioned on the WHT on the nights of 15-19 Feb 2003. During all that time the instrument functioned with no major failures. At the time of commissioning LIRIS included imaging and spectroscopic observing modes. Spectroscopy could be done at low resolution (about 700 using the narrowest slit of 0.65") using two grisms: One simultaneously covers the bands Z and J (9230 - 15,425 Angstrom) with a dispersion of 6.1 Angstrom/pix; and the other covers the bands H and K (14,600 - 24,946 Angstrom) with a dispersion of 10 Angstrom/pix.

    ANDES, the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT: design of the adaptive optics system
    ANDES,the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT, will work both in seeing limited mode and with Adaptive Optics (AO) correction. ANDES-SCAO is a single conjugated AO system working with natural guide stars, feeding the IFU coupled to the YJH spectrograph. The main science goal of the ANDES AO mode is the characterization of the exo-planet

    Contrast optimization in wide-field AO
    In Solar Adaptive Optics (AO), it is common to work with a wide Field of View (FoV), which necessitates special control techniques to enhance system performance. Ground-Layer Adaptive Optics (GLAO) configurations lack sufficient degrees of freedom to correct altitude layers individually, resulting in an averaged correction across the entire FoV. In
