Description
High-resolution spectra of a sample of all known stars more luminous than MV=+6.5 and closer than 15 parsecs are being analyzed spectroscopically in order to derive their effective temperatures and surface gravities. These spectra are taken from the database of "A Spectroscopic Survey of Stars in the Solar Neighborhood". The analysis utilizes a sample of Fe I and Fe II lines. The stellar parameters derived from this analysis are compared to previously published values from various studies. A comparison of the different temperature scales will be discussed as well as the impact these differences have on chemical abundance studies of cool stars. This research is supported in part by the National Science Foundation (AST03-07534 and AST03-07532),NASA (NAG5-13175), and JPL.

    MAAT: an IFU for GTC optimized using spectrograph wavefront measurements and superoptimization
    The Mirror-slicer Array for Astronomical Transients (MAAT) is an IFU now being manufactured for the OSIRIS spectrograph on the 10.4-m GRANTECAN (GTC) telescope at La Palma. It is based on the Advanced Image Slicer (AIS) concept as are MUSE and KMOS on the VLT (among many others). Very significant changes to the design had to be made due in part to

    JWST observations of Chiron: A unique active Centaur beyond 18 AU
    Chiron is the second-largest Centaur, with an effective diameter of 210 km, and is among the most well-studied minor bodies in the middle and outer Solar System. Notably, Chiron belongs to the enigmatic subpopulation of active Centaurs and has displayed cometary activity several times since its discovery. In March 2021, Chiron underwent an outburst

    FRIDA: diffraction-limited imaging and integral-field spectroscopy for the GTC
    FRIDA is a diffraction-limited imager and integral-field spectrograph for the adaptive-optics focus of the Gran Telescopio Canarias. In imaging mode FRIDA provides scales of 10, 20 and 40 mas/pixel and in IFS mode spectral resolutions of about 1200, 4000 and 30,000. Coronographic masks are available in both modes for highcontrast images. FRIDA is
