Descripción
The LOI (Luminosity Oscillations Imager) is a low resolution solar photometer built at the SSD of ESA. It is one of the instruments in the VIRGO experiment on board the SOHO satellite. In May 1994, the Qualification Model of the LOI was installed at the Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife) and since then it has been working continuously (LOI-T). The intrument has 4 guiding pixels in a ring shape around 12 central pixels. This ring has an internal radius of 15.12 arcmin and it is 1.68 arcmin width. Each guiding pixel is a quadrant of an annulus and it is oriented on one of the geographic directions: North, South, East and West. With these pixels, several signals can be derived that might be used as a measure of the solar shape: radius, oblateness, etc. Results of more than five years observations are presented.

    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

    Local seeing analysis for the European Solar Telescope
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) will be built at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, a site known for its excellent atmospheric seeing conditions. The fundamental design of EST lies on two premises to improve the local seeing: placing the primary mirror as far as possible from the ground layer and using an open-air configuration. In

    First on-sky tests of LQG control for a 10m-class telescope: prelude on the Gran Telescopio Canarias adaptive optics system
    The Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) is being equipped with an Adaptive Optics (AO) system, developed by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). The Institut d'Optique Graduate School-Laboratoire Charles Fabry (IOGS-LCF), through a collaboration with the IAC, integrated some high performance control solutions. In this proceeding, we present
