Description
An X-ray transient was detected in outburst on 18 October 2005 during one of our Chandra/HRC-I observations as part of the XMM-Newton/Chandra monitoring campaign of the 1.7 square degree around Sgr A* (Wijnands et al. 2005, A&A submitted, astro-ph/0508648). The source was located ~15 arcminutes away from the aim-point which did not allow a sub-arcsecond position of the source to be obtained.

    An overview of the preliminary optical design of the European Solar Telescope (EST)
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) is a 4-m class-solar telescope that will become part of the next generation of groundbased facilities. Located at the "Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos" in La Palma (Spain), it will be aimed to study the magnetic connectivity of the solar atmosphere with high spatial and temporal resolution. The EST optical

    ANDES, the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT: science goals, project overview, and future developments
    The first generation of ELT instruments includes an optical-infrared high resolution spectrograph, indicated as ELT-HIRES and recently christened ANDES (ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph). ANDES consists of three fibre-fed spectrographs ([U]BV, RIZ, YJH) providing a spectral resolution of ∼100,000 with a minimum simultaneous wavelength
