Description
We report on optical spectroscopy of the high-energy transient Swift J1910.2-0546 / MAXI 1910-057 (ATel #4139; #4140; #4171; #4195; #4198) using the 2m Liverpool Telescope on La Palma and the FRODOSPEC spectrograph. On 2012 June 18 (01:25 UTC) we obtained 1500s exposures simultaneously in the red (5700-8050A at 0.59A/pixel) and blue (3800-5150A at 0.35A/pixel) using the integral field unit, and giving central resolutions of 1.3 and 0.8A respectively.

    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

    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

    New Robotic Telescope system progress towards critical design review
    The 4m class New Robotic Telescope (NRT) is an optical facility designed to revolutionize the rapid follow-up and classification of variable and transient objects. The project is at the stage where key systems are progressing through their detailed design phases, which presents a major engineering challenge for all project partners to manage design
