Description
The authors have made observations of the spectrum of comet Halley on various dates between September 1985 and December 1986, obtaining multipositional long-slit absolute spectrophotometry of the inner region of the coma in the visible range. They present a study of the emission in the 3883 Å line of the (0-0) transition of CN. The observed CN surface brightness spatial distribution is used to obtain the distribution of molecules and is fitted to Haser's model to obtain scale lengths.

    The TESS TTV Follow-up Program: Revealing Volatile-Rich Terrestrial Planets Around M Stars
    Models predict that water-rich planets may be common around low-mass stars, but definitive evidence for the existence of water worlds has remained elusive. Recent JWST observations of sub-Neptune sized planets orbiting nearby M dwarfs found atmospheres enriched in CH4, CO2 and H2O, but the enrichment mechanism is debated. To answer this question

    The instrumentation plan of the 10.4m GTC telescope
    The 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) was designed to be a versatile telescope, able to serve a wide scientific community. To this aim, various focal stations have been equipped, including a Cassegrain, two Nasmyth foci, and four folded-Cassegrain stations. This allows an ambitious instrumentation plan to be developed. We present the latest

    Design and fabrication of fold mirror (M3) system for New Robotic Telescope
    The New Robotic Telescope (NRT) is an autonomous telescope that can operate multiple instruments at the Cassegrain focal station and the straight-through port. The optical beam is directed to the ports by a fold mirror subsystem in the focal station assembly. The fold mirror is elliptical in shape, manufactured by Instituto Nazionale di Astrofisica
