In this work we present the design of the ATLAS (Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System) unit that will be installed at Teide Observatory in Tenerife island (Spain). ATLAS-Teide will be built by the IAC and will operated as part of the ATLAS network in the framework of an operation and science exploitation agreement between the IAC and the

Most current and planned NEO surveys are ground-based and carried out in the visible wavelength range. However, this approach has some limitations: 1. weather dependency; 2. only a portion of the night sky is visible from any given location on Earth; 3. it is hard to detect moving objects, especially in crowded star fields; 4. visible surveys can

With the emergence of so-called scientific CMOS sensors, some of the new high-cadence and cost-limited surveys are considering this technology as a low-cost alternative to the widely used CCDs. These new back-illuminated sensors offer high frame rates with very low readout noise, low dark current at temperatures achievable with thermoelectric

This is a minor bug fix release with some other small changes. The changes concern initialisation of live-points in the beginning of the run, boundary updates and resuming of runs. See the changelog for more details.

The Sunrise Chromospheric Infrared spectroPolarimeter (SCIP) has been developed for the third flight of the SUNRISE balloon-borne stratospheric solar observatory. The aim of the SCIP is to reveal the evolution of three-dimensional magnetic fields in the solar photosphere and chromosphere using spectropolarimetric measurements with a polarimetric

Tidal streams of disrupted clusters are powerful probes of the gravitational potential of the Galaxy, and are routinely detected in the stellar halo of the Milky Way. Recently, it has been shown that tidal streams of open clusters can now also be detected within the Milky Way disc, such as the Hyades stream. During this talk, I will present the
