Descripción
We report on optical spectroscopy of Swift J1933.9+3258 (=1RXS J193347.6+325422). This X-ray source has recently been classified as a likely radio-quiet AGN on the basis of its broad-band (radio, optical, UV, X-ray) properties (Grupe et al. 2006, ATel #859). In order to confirm its nature, a single 7-min spectrum of the optical counterpart was acquired on June 20 2006 08:53 UT with the 1.5m Tillinghast telescope on Mt.Hopkins using its FAST spectrograph.

    Phase diversity application on the EST MCAO testbench
    Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a

    First light of the upgraded Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    For more than ten years, the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) has been the infrared spectropolarimeter on the Gregor telescope since its inauguration in 2012. The instrument mainly performs polarimetric observations of the wavelength regions at 1083 and 1565nm, which have high scientific potential. There, observers can find spectral lines that
