Description
The second Hispano-Argentinian Meridian Catalogue (HAMC2) contains more than 12.500.000 positions and magnitudes of stars brighter than V=16.5 and with declinations between -30° and 0°. It has been computed from the CCD observations of the San Fernando Automatic Meridian Circle (CMASF) installed at present at the Carlos U. Cesco Observatory (CUC) in San Juan (Argentina). The CMASF is operated jointly by the Real Instituto y Observatorio de la Armada (ROA) of Spain, owner of the instrument, and the Observatorio Astronómico Félix Aguilar (OAFA) of the Universidad Nacional de San Juan (Argentina), owner of the CUC. The catalogue will be published in the first half of 2008. In this paper we present the work carried out to implement the HAMC2, the CCD camera sensor calibration and finally the comparison of its astrometric and photometric results with other modern CCD catalogues in order to detect and to remove possible systematic errors.

    NEOMIR: ESA's space-based infrared mission for NEO detection and early warning
    The Near-Earth Object Mission in the Infra-Red (NEOMIR) is the first ESA's space-based mission fully dedicated to discovering near-Earth objects (NEOs), with a focus to detect and raise early warning for the smaller objects that are coming from the Sun direction, thus nearly impossible to be detected by ground-based optical survey. NEOMIR is

    Upgrading the polarisation modulation unit of the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    The Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) is installed at the Gregor telescope at Observatorio del Teide, Spain. The instrument started observations in 2012 and underwent several upgrades in the following years. Currently, it is experiencing the most significant upgrade so far, which includes, among other things, adding two optical channels to

    Small-ELF Telescope opto-mechanical system: progress on design, manufacturing, and tensegrity prototyping
    Small-ELF (SELF) is a 3.5-meter telescope currently entering the manufacturing phase and will serve as a technology precursor for the much larger telescope named ELF (Exo-Life Finder). The primary objective of the proposed design approach is to to radically improve the system's capabilities for the detection of biomarkers and life in the
