Description
Following the recently reported decline of the X-ray flux from the millisecond pulsar HETE J1900.1-2455 (Galloway et al. 2007, ATel #1086), we acquired images of its optical counterpart using the Wide Field Camera mounted on the 2.5m Isaac Newton Telescope at La Palma. The images were obtained on 2007 May 29 4:10-4:33 UT and May 30 3:42-4:17 UT and photometrically calibrated using the standard stars SA 113-260 and BD+33 2642.

    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
