Descripción
We report on sulphur abundances in halo stars as derived from near-IR UVES spectra. The importance of removing telluric lines and residual CCD fringing patterns by using early B-type stars as calibrators is emphasized. Comparison of data from the weak λ8694.6 and the stronger λ9212.9, 9237.5 pair of S I lines provides important constraints on non-LTE effects. We do not confirm the high sulphur abundances reported by others for some metal-poor stars; our results instead indicate that sulphur behaves like other typical α-capture elements with a plateau at [S/Fe] ˜ +0.3 dex in the Galactic halo.

    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

    New Robotic Telescope system progress towards critical design review
    The 4m class New Robotic Telescope (NRT) is an optical facility designed to revolutionize the rapid follow-up and classification of variable and transient objects. The project is at the stage where key systems are progressing through their detailed design phases, which presents a major engineering challenge for all project partners to manage design

    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
