Optical alignment of the high-precision UV spectro-polarimeter (CLASP2)
Chromospheric LAyer Spectro-Polarimeter (CLASP2) is our next sounding rocket experiment after the success of Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha Spectro-Polarimeter...
Optical and hard X-ray detections of an outburst from Aquila X-1
We report a new outburst from the neutron star X-ray transient Aquila X-1. Optical monitoring with the Faulkes Telescopes North and South show a rise above...
Optical and infrared monitoring of SWIFT J1753.3-0127
We report preliminary optical/infrared photometry and spectroscopy of the SWIFT J1753.3-0127 transient (ATEL #546, #549) obtained at Fred Whipple Observatory...
Optical and mechanical design of the fore-optics of HARMONI
HARMONI is a visible and near-infrared (0.47μm to 2.5μm) integral field spectrometer providing the E-ELT's core spectroscopic capability. It will provide ~32000...
Optical and mechanical updates in the GREGOR Infrared Spectrograph for simultaneous spectral observations
The GREGOR Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) can perform spectropolarimetric observations in 1.0-1.8 μm and pure spectroscopic in the band 2.0-2.3 μm. The...
