Description
The position of the recently discovered transient gamma-ray source J0109+6134 (ATEL #2414) lies within the footprints of the IPHAS (Drew et al. 2005, MNRAS, 362, 753; http://www.iphas.org) and UVEX (Groot et al. 2009, MNRAS, 399, 323) surveys of the northern Galactic plane. Paredes et al. (ATEL #2421) have already suggested an optical counterpart to this transient source, which is located just over 1" from the position of the suggested radio counterpart to this transient (VCS2 J0109+6133) and 4" from the Swift/XRT counterpart (ATEL #2420).

    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
