Descripción
GX 339-4 is currently brightening at X-ray, UV, optical and radio frequencies (ATel #1945, #1954, #1960). Our monitoring campaign with the Faulkes Telescope South (ATel #1586) gives the following recent magnitudes (light curves are below; errors are ~ 0.02 mag): 2009-02-20 (MJD 54882.65): i' ~ 16.66 (and varying by ~ 0.2 mag in 10 minutes) 2009-02-21 (MJD 54883.76): V ~ 16.94, R ~ 16.46, i' ~ 16.68 2009-03-06 (MJD 54896.76): V ~ 16.37, R ~ 15.94, i' ~ 15.50 2009-03-07 (MJD 54897.76): V ~ 16.31, R ~ 15.89, i' ~ 15.65 The source brightened by 0.6, 0.5 and 1.2 mag in V, R and i' respectively in 13 days between 2009-02-21 and 2009-03-06.

    Phase diversity application on the EST MCAO testbench
    Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a

    First light of the upgraded Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    For more than ten years, the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) has been the infrared spectropolarimeter on the Gregor telescope since its inauguration in 2012. The instrument mainly performs polarimetric observations of the wavelength regions at 1083 and 1565nm, which have high scientific potential. There, observers can find spectral lines that
