Description
Mrk 273 and Mrk 231 are ultra-luminous IR galaxies which show signs of merger activity. Their radio continuum, HI and OH maser emission has been imaged on scales of tens of parsec using MERLIN. Mrk 273 and Mrk 231 are classed as Sy 2 and Sy 1 respectively. The distribution of material and velocity gradients shown by OH masers and HI absorption are consistent with material in a rotating disk or ring. In Mrk 273 the axis is at greater than 45 degrees to the line of sight; in Mrk 231 it is at less than 45 degrees to the line of sight. The amount of mass enclosed is estimated, and its distribution is inferred from irregularities in the masers and comparison with the HI and radio continuum data.

    ANDES, the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT: science goals, project overview, and future developments
    The first generation of ELT instruments includes an optical-infrared high resolution spectrograph, indicated as ELT-HIRES and recently christened ANDES (ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph). ANDES consists of three fibre-fed spectrographs ([U]BV, RIZ, YJH) providing a spectral resolution of ∼100,000 with a minimum simultaneous wavelength

    ANDES, the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT: UBV spectrograph preliminary design
    We present the design of the ANDES UBV module, the bluest spectrograph of the ANDES instrument. It is a fiber-fed high resolution, high stability spectrograph, which will be installed on the ELT-Nasmyth platform to minimize blue fibre losses from the focal plane to the spectrograph. In this paper we present the status of development of the
