Descripción
We examine seven Chandra ACIS-I observations centered on the nucleus of M31. Recent Chandra [1] and XMM results [2] have shown evidence of diffuse emission and have shown this emission to be softer than the point sources present in the nucleus. We also see a gradient in the hardness ratio with respect to radius in the diffuse emission. We will report on spectral fits to the diffuse emission (after point sources have been removed) in order to constrain the emission mechanism. We will also compare this to a few representative point sources in the nuclear region. These fits should provide some insight into the origin of this diffuse emission.

    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
