  • PORIS toolkit DSL applied to instrument development and implementation
    Model-based systems engineering has as one of its central pillars the single source of truth that is usually a CAD model, or a model defined using a language such as SysML. However, having a single point of truth is not incompatible with using multiple modeling languages. A simple DSL like PORIS allows us to make instrument sketches much more

  • Polarimetric performance of the European Solar Telescope
    Polarization is a fundamental property of the light and is very useful to measure the magnetic field vector of the various features that can be observed in the solar atmosphere. Ideally, a solar telescope should not introduce any polarization to the incoming light that could mask the one coming from the Sun. However, some instrumental polarization

  • Physical properties of the trans-Neptunian object (38628) Huya from a multi-chord stellar occultation
    Context. As part of our international program aimed at obtaining accurate physical properties of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs), we predicted a stellar occultation by the TNO (38628) Huya of the star Gaia DR2 4352760586390566400 (m G = 11.5 mag) on March 18, 2019. After an extensive observational campaign geared at obtaining the astrometric data

  • Overview of the status of the European Solar Telescope
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) aims to become the most ambitious ground-based solar telescope in Europe. Its roots lie in the knowledge and expertise gained from building and running previous infrastructures like, among others, the Vacuum Tower Telescope, Swedish Solar Telescope, or the GREGOR telescope. They are installed in the Canary Islands

  • Overview of telescope structure, enclosure, and pier preliminary design of the European Solar Telescope
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) is a 4.2-m solar telescope, based on an aplanatic Gregorian configuration with an alt-azimuthal mount. This contribution presents the status of EST and describes the baseline for the preliminary design of the Telescope Structure (Telescope Mount), Enclosure and Pier. It also introduces the systems engineering

  • Optomechanical integration of the MCAO prototype testbed for EST
    Once the design phase of the Multi-Conjugated Adaptive Optics (MCAO) testbed for the European Solar Telescope (EST) is completed, the system has been assembled and integrated at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). The aim of this highly configurable optical testbed is to study different solar adaptive optics solutions, including Single
