Description
The RXTE has been monitoring the new transient X-ray source MAXI J1409-619 since its discovery on October 20, 2010 (Yamaoka et al 2010, ATEL # 2959) . We analyzed the observations of this source performed on December 11, 2010 during the current re-brightening of the source (Ueno et al 2010, ATEL # 3067). The observation lasted for a total exposure time of about 20 ks. We detect a quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) with a centroid frequency 0.192 +/- 0.006 Hz and with a width of 0.029 +/- 0.013 Hz.

    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

    Spectrographs for the Asgard/BIFROST beam combiner for the VLTI: optical and optomechanical design and first lab results
    BIFROST, an upcoming instrument for the VLTI, is part of the Asgard Suite, a VLTI visitor instrument. It comprises two spectrograph arms that are optimised for wavelength range of 1- 1.75μm (fed by a fiber that is placed on-axis for fringe tracking/monitoring) and 1-1.3μm (fed by a fiber that can positioned either on-axis or off-axis to observe a
