Description
In order to investigate the oscillatory behaviour of the magnetic field in sunspots and pores, full Stokes measurements of 1.56 μm iron lines have been performed using the Tenerife Infrared Polarimeter (TIP) at the German Vacuum Tower Telescope on Tenerife. As expected, velocity oscillations have power peaks at five minutes. First results for temporal variations of the magnetic field show that they occur in locally restricted areas in sunspots. Periods in the five minute range are preferred. In addition, we investigate magnetograms taken with the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI) on SOHO. Intensity images in white light and around 160 nm were obtained with TRACE as well. Intensity power is strongly with TRACE as well. Intensity power is strongly suppressed in the sunspot area, although we find powerpeaks in the five and three minute ranges.

    MAAT: an IFU for GTC optimized using spectrograph wavefront measurements and superoptimization
    The Mirror-slicer Array for Astronomical Transients (MAAT) is an IFU now being manufactured for the OSIRIS spectrograph on the 10.4-m GRANTECAN (GTC) telescope at La Palma. It is based on the Advanced Image Slicer (AIS) concept as are MUSE and KMOS on the VLT (among many others). Very significant changes to the design had to be made due in part to

    JWST observations of Chiron: A unique active Centaur beyond 18 AU
    Chiron is the second-largest Centaur, with an effective diameter of 210 km, and is among the most well-studied minor bodies in the middle and outer Solar System. Notably, Chiron belongs to the enigmatic subpopulation of active Centaurs and has displayed cometary activity several times since its discovery. In March 2021, Chiron underwent an outburst

    FRIDA: diffraction-limited imaging and integral-field spectroscopy for the GTC
    FRIDA is a diffraction-limited imager and integral-field spectrograph for the adaptive-optics focus of the Gran Telescopio Canarias. In imaging mode FRIDA provides scales of 10, 20 and 40 mas/pixel and in IFS mode spectral resolutions of about 1200, 4000 and 30,000. Coronographic masks are available in both modes for highcontrast images. FRIDA is
