The occurence of ``exotic'' shapes in light N = Z α-like nuclei is investigated for 24Mg+12C and 32S+24Mg. Various approaches of superdeformed and hyperdeformed...
Readout electronics and fast photometry with the Canarias InfraRed Camera Experiment (CIRCE)
We present the design for a high-speed readout imaging mode for the Canarias InfraRed Camera Experiment (CIRCE), a visitor-class near-IR imager, spectrograph...
The real-colour images of spiral galaxies reproduced in this Newsletter form part of a new series of such pictures, currently under construction. The original...
Lucky imaging techniques implemented by the FastCam group (see http://www.iac.es/proyecto/fastcam/) at the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias have...
Real-time phase slopes calculations by correlations using FPGAs
ELT laser guide star wavefront sensors are planned to handle an expected amount of data to be overwhelmingly large (1600×1600 pixels at 700 fps). According to...
We report a rebrightening of the newly discovered transient MAXI J0556-332 (ATEL #3102, #3103, #3104, #3106, #3110, #3112, #3116, #3119) in optical through soft...
Recent Advances in Chromospheric and Coronal Polarization Diagnostics
I review some recent advances in methods to diagnose polarized radiation with which we may hope to explore the magnetism of the solar chromosphere and corona...
