Descripción
The GTC Acquisition Cameras and Wavefront Sensors are based on a modular design with remote, low-profile and lightweight CCD heads and a compact CCD controller. The cameras employ E2V Technologies Peltier cooled CCD47-20 and CCD39-01 detectors, which achieve 1Hz and 200Hz full frame readouts, respectively. The CCD controller is a modified version of the Magellan CCD controller (Greg Burley - OCIW), which is linked to the GTC control system. We present the detailed design and first performance results of the cameras.

    Phase diversity application on the EST MCAO testbench
    Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a

    First light of the upgraded Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    For more than ten years, the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) has been the infrared spectropolarimeter on the Gregor telescope since its inauguration in 2012. The instrument mainly performs polarimetric observations of the wavelength regions at 1083 and 1565nm, which have high scientific potential. There, observers can find spectral lines that
