Descripción
Follow-up RXTE PCA observations of the transient source consistent with the position of SAX J1808.4-3658 (ATEL#505) showed clear coherent pulsations at approximately 401 Hz. This frequency is identical to the spin frequency of the neutron star in SAX J1808.4-3658 demonstrating that it is indeed SAX J1808.4-3658 which is in outburst again. During the three pointed observations the 2-10 keV X-ray fluxes were approximately 19 mCrab on June 1, 17:35 - 18:42 UTC, 31 mCrab on June 2 00:13 - 00:51 UTC, and 34 mCrab on June 2 10:56 - 11:46 UTC indicating that the X-ray flux is still rising.

    NIRPS near-infrared spectrograph: AITV phase at ESO3.6m/La Silla
    NIRPS is a fiber-fed AO nIR spectrograph working simultaneously with HARPS at the La Silla-ESO 3.6m telescope. The cryogenic spectrograph operating at 75K employs a cross-dispersed echelle grating (R4), covering a wavelength range of 0.98-1.80 microns in a single image using a Teledyne Hawaii-4RG infrared detector. In early 2022, the NIRPS
