Descripción
We report the successful detection of the rare earth element Neodymium (Nd) in the high-resolution, H-band spectra from the SDSS III Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE). Using the Nd II transition at 16058.014 angstroms, we have detected significant Nd enhancements in all stars observed by APOGEE belonging to the Sagittarius (Sgr) Dwarf Spheroidal (dSph) galaxy. Because Sgr is known to be enhanced in heavy s-process elements such as Nd, we can use this feature to identify and chemically tag Sgr stream members that have been observed in the Galactic halo by APOGEE. We also use this feature to characterize rare earth element abundance variations in clusters observed by APOGEE.

    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

    MAAT: an IFU for GTC optimized using spectrograph wavefront measurements and superoptimization
    The Mirror-slicer Array for Astronomical Transients (MAAT) is an IFU now being manufactured for the OSIRIS spectrograph on the 10.4-m GRANTECAN (GTC) telescope at La Palma. It is based on the Advanced Image Slicer (AIS) concept as are MUSE and KMOS on the VLT (among many others). Very significant changes to the design had to be made due in part to

    JWST observations of Chiron: A unique active Centaur beyond 18 AU
    Chiron is the second-largest Centaur, with an effective diameter of 210 km, and is among the most well-studied minor bodies in the middle and outer Solar System. Notably, Chiron belongs to the enigmatic subpopulation of active Centaurs and has displayed cometary activity several times since its discovery. In March 2021, Chiron underwent an outburst
