Description
We use visible and submm polarimetric data to trace, study and compare magnetic fields within and near elongated molecular clouds. A preliminary polarimetric map of OMC-2 at 850 μm is presented. With other published results, these new measurements will lead to detailed representations of how the magnetic field threading the filaments connects to larger structures at the periphery of filamentary molecular clouds.

    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

    First light of the upgraded Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    For more than ten years, the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) has been the infrared spectropolarimeter on the Gregor telescope since its inauguration in 2012. The instrument mainly performs polarimetric observations of the wavelength regions at 1083 and 1565nm, which have high scientific potential. There, observers can find spectral lines that
