Description
We present Integral Field Spectroscopy observations of NGC 5253, a very nearby (d ˜ 3.8 Mpc) HII galaxy. This type of observations allows the detailed study of the interplay between gas, dust and stars. Here, we will focus on recent results related to the cause of the local enrichment of nitrogen found for this galaxy as well as on its kinematics. In particular, for the first time we show maps with the velocities derived from Hα and [NII] in a starburst galaxy. Further details on these and other issues can be found in Monreal-Ibero et al. [2010], A&A, 517A, 27.

    Phase diversity application on the EST MCAO testbench
    Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a

    First light of the upgraded Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    For more than ten years, the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) has been the infrared spectropolarimeter on the Gregor telescope since its inauguration in 2012. The instrument mainly performs polarimetric observations of the wavelength regions at 1083 and 1565nm, which have high scientific potential. There, observers can find spectral lines that
