Descripción
Astrophotonics offers a solution to some of the problems of building instruments for the next generation of telescopes through the use of photonic devices to miniaturise and simplify instruments. It has already proved its worth in interferometry over the last decade and is now being applied to nightsky background suppression. Astrophotonics offers a radically different approach to highly-multiplexed spectroscopy to the benefit of galaxy surveys such as are required to determine the evolution of the cosmic equation of state. The Astrophotonica Europa partnership funded by the EU via OPTICON is undertaking a wide-ranging survey of the technological opportunities and their applicability to high-priority astrophysical goals of the next generation of observatories. Here we summarise some of the conclusions.

    Study of basaltic asteroids through their phase curves
    Introduction Classified as type-V, the basaltic asteroids of the Main Belt (MB), for the most part, are connected to Vesta's dynamic family. However, since the discovery of the V-type asteroid (1459) Magnya in the outer MB, several new asteroids have been found in different regions, including V-types from inner regions not belonging to the Vesta

    The Multi Frequency Instrument 2 (MFI2): mechanical design, manufacture, integration, and commissioning of the MFI2 for the QUIJOTE facility in Tenerife (Canary Islands)
    The QUIJOTE (Q-U-I JOint TEnerife) experiment combines the operation of two radio-telescopes and three instruments working in the microwave bands from 10 to 47 GHz at the Teide Observatory, Tenerife, which has already been presented in previous SPIE meetings. The new Multi Frequency Instrument (MFI2) led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias

    ANDES, the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT: RIZ & UBV spectrographs' preliminary design, analysis, and integration of the vacuum vessel and thermal enclosure
    The RIZ & UBV visible spectrographs of the ANDES instrument, which are foreseen to be installed at the Extremely Large Telescope, require to be under a very stable high vacuum and at an extremely stable temperature of 1mK to reach the radial velocity goal of 10cm/s RMS over a 10-year period. The baseline design, integration and first analyses of
