Description
We have conducted an extensive observational campaign of SWIFT J1753.5-0127 over the last year, since its bright our-burst episode in 2005. Using long time baseline optical photometry, we have found a new period suggestive of orbital modulation with a period of 3.2 h, we have simultaneous multi-band photometry, and high-frequency multi-band photometry from ULTRACAM. In the latter data, we find evidence for a broad quasi-periodic oscillation in the g' and r' bands centred on a period of ~25 s and a narrower one of period ~12 s.

    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
