Description
The secondary objective of the GOLF Experiment on-board the SOHO space mission is to measure the line-of-sight component of the disk averaged magnetic field of the Sun. GOLF is an improved disk-integrated sunlight resonant scattering spectrophotome ter. Using an extra fixed quarter wave plate placed at the entrance of the instrument, enables a selection of the circularly polarized solar light and therefore, the disk averaged solar line-of-sight component of the magnetic field can be obtained. Unfortunately, due to malfunction on the rotating mechanism, only a series of 26 continuous days are available. Here, a det ailed analysis is presented including the value of the averaged magnetic field as well as a power spectrum covering a freque ncy range up to 12 mHz.

    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
