Descripción
We present the scheme developed for the quick analysis and data quality checks on the MAGIC Cherenkov Telescope at La Palma. Due to its low energy threshold MAGIC acquires data of atmospheric showers at a rate of more than 200Hz, which translates in up to 700GB per night. A fast On-Site data reduction is needed to detect hardware problems and in many cases to decide on observation strategies. The data are automatically calibrated and pre-processed at the MAGIC site using automated scripts on multiprocessor systems. Check plots are generated, and first results are available in the morning. This system complements a quick online analysis which runs in parallel with the data acquisition.

    Performance of the image persistence model for Euclid infrared detectors
    Large-format infrared detectors are at the heart of major ground and space-based astronomical instruments, and the HgCdTe HxRG is the most widely used. The Near Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP) of the ESA's Euclid mission launched in July 2023 hosts 16 H2RG detectors in the focal plane. Their performance relies heavily on the effect of

    HARMONI at ELT: design and tests results of the instrument cryogenic fast shutter
    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 60mas to 4mas. It can operate in two Adaptive Optics modes - SCAO (including a High Contrast capability) and LTAO - or with NOAO. The project
