Description
We report the results of an HST survey of 17 AGN, selected solely for having a well developed radio jet bright enough to be detectable with HST for a normal radio-to-optical spectral index. It is found that optical jets are much more common then expected, been detected in ˜30% of the cases. The data are then combined with Chandra X-ray and VLA radio observations, to provide a unique dataset for investigating AGN jets physics.

    HARMONI at ELT: HIPOTEC electronics and control system
    HARMONI is the first light visible and near-IR integral field spectrograph for the ELT. It covers a large spectral range from 470nm to 2450nm with resolving powers from 3300 to 18000 and spatial sampling from 60 mas to 4 mas. It can operate in two Adaptive Optics modes - SCAO (including a High Contrast capability) and LTAO - or with NOAO. The

    GTCAO low-frequency tip-tilt offload to M2
    GTCAO is the instrument that implements Adaptive Optics on GTC. For atmospheric turbulence correction, GTCAO uses a deformable mirror. Unlike other AO systems, GTCAO does not include a dedicated mirror for low-frequency tip-tilt (TT) correction. In the absence of dedicated correction, the TT components of atmospheric turbulence are corrected by the
