Description
The highlights of the round table discussion held to discuss the most important pending problems in cometary astrophysics are reported. A number of experts presented short summaries of what they regarded as the most pressing problems to be solved. These were taken up by a panel of five experts who discussed and analysed the best way to take the fullest advantage of the new telescopes and instrumentation that are becoming available and the requirements for collaboration with space missions.

    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
