Description
A survey of chemical abundances and radial velocities for a spatially selected sample of RR Lyrae stars has been started. Assuming an absolute magnitude of -0.6 for these objects, this leads to a near spherical volume of 2 kpc radius to be explored. Special emphasis is devoted to those RR Lyrae stars contained in the Input Catalogue of the Hipparcos mission. Radial velocities, proper motions and abundances for these objects should provide one with a useful database for studies of galactic structure.

    HARMONI at ELT: HIPOTEC electronics and control system
    HARMONI is the first light visible and near-IR integral field spectrograph for the ELT. It covers a large spectral range from 470nm to 2450nm with resolving powers from 3300 to 18000 and spatial sampling from 60 mas to 4 mas. It can operate in two Adaptive Optics modes - SCAO (including a High Contrast capability) and LTAO - or with NOAO. The

    GTCAO low-frequency tip-tilt offload to M2
    GTCAO is the instrument that implements Adaptive Optics on GTC. For atmospheric turbulence correction, GTCAO uses a deformable mirror. Unlike other AO systems, GTCAO does not include a dedicated mirror for low-frequency tip-tilt (TT) correction. In the absence of dedicated correction, the TT components of atmospheric turbulence are corrected by the
