High-resolution maps of the spiral galaxies NGC 3992 and NGC 4321, obtained with the Taurus camera at the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope are analyzed. The...
High resolution Michelson interferometer for airborne infrared astronomical observations. I - Concept and performance
A Michelson interferometer has been built for use with the 91-cm telescope on NASA's Gerard P. Kuiper Airborne Observatory primarily to measure IR line emission...
We present here the outline of the process that any potential GTC observer will need to follow in order to perform their observations. Depending on which of the...
Image reconstruction with analytical point spread functions
Context. The image degradation produced by atmospheric turbulence and optical aberrations is usually alleviated using post-facto image reconstruction techniques...
Image sharpening of time-tagged counts from a photon counting detector - Application of a modified Wiener filter
A method for applying a modified Wiener filter to time-tagged single photon data is proposed which can preprocess the data for use by a wide range of image...
Infranight infrared spectral variability in OJ 287
We present results from five nights of pseudo-simulations JHK infrared monitoring of the blazar OJ 287 taken with the Carlos Sanchez Telescope during March 1991...
Instrumental polarization in the focal plane of telescopes
We present a technique to model the instrumental polarization in the focal plane of a telescope. It takes into account that different rays of an incoming beam...
