Description
This work presents the first quiet Sun spectropolarimetric observations carried out in the visible and the infrared (IR) simultaneously. The Fe I lines at 6301.5, 6302.5, 15648, and 15652 Å were observed co-spatially, and at the same time (with a time lag of only 1 minute), with high sensitive spectropolarimeters operated in two different telescopes (VTT and THEMIS at the Observatorio del Teide). We find Stokes V profiles above noise in 30% of the observed area, showing intrinsic magnetic fields of kG (traced by visible lines) co-existing with sub-kG fields (traced by infrared lines). We also found V profiles with opposite polarity in the visible and the IR in 25% of the pixels under study (8% of the area).

    Study of basaltic asteroids through their phase curves
    Introduction Classified as type-V, the basaltic asteroids of the Main Belt (MB), for the most part, are connected to Vesta's dynamic family. However, since the discovery of the V-type asteroid (1459) Magnya in the outer MB, several new asteroids have been found in different regions, including V-types from inner regions not belonging to the Vesta

    Design and manufacture of athermalized optomechanical mounts for GRANCAIN, the infrared imaging instrument for GTC's adaptive optics
    GRANCAIN (GRAN CAmara INfrarroja) is a first-light imaging instrument in the infrared J, H and K bands that will be integrated into the adaptive optics focus of the Gran Telescopio de Canarias. The purpose of the instrument is to capture SWIR diffraction-limited images for a field of view of 22x22 arcsec. The instrument boasts a telecentric optical
