Descripción
We study the kinematics of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 6946 by investigating the velocity field from Hα Fabry-Perot observations, determine the pattern speed of the bar by using the Tremaine-Weinberg method, and find a main pattern speed of 21.7+4.0-0.8 km-1 s-1 kpc-1. Our data clearly suggest the presence of an additional pattern with a pattern speed more than twice that of the large pattern in this galaxy. We use the epicycle approximation to deduce the location of the resonance radii and subsequently determine the pattern speed between the radii, and find that inside the inner inner Lindblad resonance radius a bar-like system has evolved.

    ANDES, the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT: design of the adaptive optics system
    ANDES,the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT, will work both in seeing limited mode and with Adaptive Optics (AO) correction. ANDES-SCAO is a single conjugated AO system working with natural guide stars, feeding the IFU coupled to the YJH spectrograph. The main science goal of the ANDES AO mode is the characterization of the exo-planet

    HARMONI at ELT: verification tests of opto-mechanical mounts for HARMONI preoptics in cryogenic environment
    HARMONI is the high angular optical and near-IR integral field spectrograph (IFS) for the ELT. The instrument covers a large spectral range from 470 to 2450nm with resolving powers from 3300 to 18000 and spatial sampling from 60 to 4mas. A workhorse instrument designed to operate in two Adaptive Optics modes - Single-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (SCAO
