Descripción
We present the basic concept of a new astronomical instrument: SPARC4 - Simultaneous Polarimeter and Rapid Camera in 4 bands. SPARC4 combines in one instrument: (i) photometric and polarimetric modes; (ii) sub-second time-resolution in photometric mode and excellent timeresolution in polarimetric mode; (iii) simultaneous imaging in four broad-bands for both modes. This combination will make SPARC4 a unique facility for ground-based optical observatories. Presently, the project is in its conceptual design phase.

    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

    NEOMIR: ESA's space-based infrared mission for NEO detection and early warning
    The Near-Earth Object Mission in the Infra-Red (NEOMIR) is the first ESA's space-based mission fully dedicated to discovering near-Earth objects (NEOs), with a focus to detect and raise early warning for the smaller objects that are coming from the Sun direction, thus nearly impossible to be detected by ground-based optical survey. NEOMIR is

    Upgrading the polarisation modulation unit of the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    The Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) is installed at the Gregor telescope at Observatorio del Teide, Spain. The instrument started observations in 2012 and underwent several upgrades in the following years. Currently, it is experiencing the most significant upgrade so far, which includes, among other things, adding two optical channels to
