Descripción
We analyzed first optical observations of 17 kyr-old PSR J2021+3651 and its pulsar wind nebula obtained with the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) telescope in the Sloan r' band. In addition, we reanalyzed archival X-ray data obtained with Chandra. The pulsar and the nebula were not detected in the optical down to 27.20 and 24.85 magnitude 3σ limits, respectively. Using the optical and X-ray data we conclude that PSR J2021+3651, like the Vela pulsar, is a very inefficient nonthermal emitter in the optical and X-rays, while its gamma-ray efficiency is consistent with an average efficiency for all gamma-ray pulsars of similar ages.

    NEOMIR: ESA's space-based infrared mission for NEO detection and early warning
    The Near-Earth Object Mission in the Infra-Red (NEOMIR) is the first ESA's space-based mission fully dedicated to discovering near-Earth objects (NEOs), with a focus to detect and raise early warning for the smaller objects that are coming from the Sun direction, thus nearly impossible to be detected by ground-based optical survey. NEOMIR is

    Upgrading the polarisation modulation unit of the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    The Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) is installed at the Gregor telescope at Observatorio del Teide, Spain. The instrument started observations in 2012 and underwent several upgrades in the following years. Currently, it is experiencing the most significant upgrade so far, which includes, among other things, adding two optical channels to

    Small-ELF Telescope opto-mechanical system: progress on design, manufacturing, and tensegrity prototyping
    Small-ELF (SELF) is a 3.5-meter telescope currently entering the manufacturing phase and will serve as a technology precursor for the much larger telescope named ELF (Exo-Life Finder). The primary objective of the proposed design approach is to to radically improve the system's capabilities for the detection of biomarkers and life in the
