Description
We report on the results of a coordinated observation of Mrk 421 during outburst using data from XMM-Newton and ground-based TeV data from two Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes, the Whipple 10m telescope, based in Arizona, and the MAGIC telescope, based on La Palma in the Canary Islands. The coordinated effort between the two TeV groups allowed for truly simultaneous data in TeV energies during the majority of the XMM observation, which stretched over several hours. This simultaneous coverage with both XMM's EPIC PN detector and Optical Monitor as well as the ground-based TeV telescopes allowed the correlation of X-ray, optical, and TeV variability to be studied over the course of the observation. Studies of spectral hysteresis, multi-wavelength spectral results, and hardness-intensity correlations from the observations will also be presented.

    Co-phasing the distributed aperture of a Fizeau interferometer via photonic lanterns and machine learning
    The advantage of large optical telescopes from the ground for high-contrast direct imaging relies on achieving exquisite control of the incident optical wavefront. Since the exoplanet problem almost always has a bright star within a small field of view there are usually ample photons for measuring the atmospheric and telescopedistorted wavefront. A

    Conceptual optical design of the infrared integral field spectropolarimeter for the European Solar Telescope
    The European Solar Telescope (EST), with its primary mirror of 4.2 diameter, will be the largest solar telescope available in Europe. EST will offer Integral Field Spectropolarimetry (IFS) by incorporating the EST spectropolariMeter Based on slicEr-mirrors for the near-infraRed (EMBER). This instrument is a high-resolution spectropolarimeter that
