Description
In this contribution, the main characteristics of the=20 Tenerife Infrared Polarimeter (TIP), recently built at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, to be operated at the German Solar Telescopes (GCT and VTT) of the Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife) are presented. Especial emphasis is put on the modulation scheme, polarisation efficiencies, signal-to-noise ratio, spatial and spectral resolution, and instrumental polarisation cross-talk. Some examples of data recently obtained are presented, which give an idea of the performance and capabilities of this instrument.

    Primitive asteroids in the Main Belt possess one of the most pristine inventories of materials in the Solar System. Main Belt primitive asteroids are particularly interesting due to clear evidence of phyllosilicates, i.e., silicates that have encountered liquid water and undergone chemical alteration. Since asteroids are thought to be likely

    NEOMIR: project statut of ESA's space-based infrared mission for NEO detection and early warning
    To warn about potential asteroid or comet impacts, we must first observe and discover these objects through dedicated NEO surveys. Most current and planned surveys are ground-based and use visible light, but they face limitations like weather dependency, limited sky visibility, difficulty detecting at low galactic latitudes, and inability to
