Descripción
Galactic black holes release an unknown fraction of their accreting matter and energy in the form of collimated outflows (or jets) that travel into the surrounding medium. Black Hole X-ray Binaries (BHXBs) are the essential laboratories for understanding the overall physics of the accretion process in these systems, and have provided us with a wealth of understanding of, for example, the properties of the accretion disc. Measuring as accurately as possible the total power content of the jets and hence their importance with respect to the accretion process in terms of energetics, is a primary aim of high-energy astrophysics.

    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

    Measuring Rotation Periods and Stellar Oscillations in Red Giants with TESS Data
    TESS is a powerful engine for studying stellar variability. However, it has been challenging to adopt methods used for other space missions, such as Kepler, to infer rotation periods and solar-like oscillation frequencies in TESS data. The availability of multiple sectors of data for most targets, improved stability, and the release of new
