Descripción
We report on sulphur abundances in halo stars as derived from near-IR UVES spectra. The importance of removing telluric lines and residual CCD fringing patterns by using early B-type stars as calibrators is emphasized. Comparison of data from the weak λ8694.6 and the stronger λ9212.9, 9237.5 pair of S I lines provides important constraints on non-LTE effects. We do not confirm the high sulphur abundances reported by others for some metal-poor stars; our results instead indicate that sulphur behaves like other typical α-capture elements with a plateau at [S/Fe] ˜ +0.3 dex in the Galactic halo.

    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

    Conceptual design of the infrared integral field spectropolarimeter for the European Solar Telescope
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) will be Europe's most ambitious ground-based infrastructure in solar physics. It will have a primary mirror with a diameter of 4.2m, which will make it the largest in Europe, and of identical aperture as the largest solar telescope available worldwide, namely the Daniel K. Inouye Telescope (DKIST) installed at the

    Detector upgrade in EMIR@GTC: on-sky performances
    EMIR was shipped to the GTC on May 2016 and had its first light on June 2016. Since the beginning, the EMIR performances have been severely hampered by the many instabilities in the infrared detector, a 2048x2048 Hawaii2, built with the old original technology of the Teledyne Hawaii series. Despite of this, the instrument has proven to be powerful
