Small-scale flux emergence events observed by Sunrise/IMaX
Thanks to the unprecedented combination of high spatial resolution (0''.2) and high temporal cadence (33 s) spectropolarimetric measurements, the IMaX...
Smart focal plane technologies for ELT instruments
Smart Focal Planes are devices that enable the efficient sampling of a telescope's focal plane to feed spectroscopic and imaging instruments. Examples are...
We are currently developing a conceptual design for a future ELT NIR large field of view imager-spectrograph, SMART-MOS, along with several science cases from...
