Descripción
The neutron star X-ray transient 4U 1608-52 is often in a state of outburst (e.g. ATel #1113); the Swift/BAT light curve shows three clear outburst peaks so far in 2009. The source usually remains in a hard X-ray state during its outbursts. Here we report an X-ray state transition to a soft state around MJD 54960-75 (2009-05-09 - 24) and accompanying optical monitoring observations before and after the transition.

    HARMONI at ELT: HIPOTEC electronics and control system
    HARMONI is the first light visible and near-IR integral field spectrograph for the ELT. It covers a large spectral range from 470nm to 2450nm with resolving powers from 3300 to 18000 and spatial sampling from 60 mas to 4 mas. It can operate in two Adaptive Optics modes - SCAO (including a High Contrast capability) and LTAO - or with NOAO. The

    GTCAO low-frequency tip-tilt offload to M2
    GTCAO is the instrument that implements Adaptive Optics on GTC. For atmospheric turbulence correction, GTCAO uses a deformable mirror. Unlike other AO systems, GTCAO does not include a dedicated mirror for low-frequency tip-tilt (TT) correction. In the absence of dedicated correction, the TT components of atmospheric turbulence are corrected by the
