Descripción
A bright X-ray transient in M31 was detected in a 5000-sec Chandra ACIS-I observation on 2001 Aug 31.54 UT. The new transient (CXOU J004305.5+411703) is located at R.A. = 00h43m05s.55, Decl = +41o17'03''.3 (equinox 2000.0; based on the aspect solution, with uncertainty of ~1''). The energy spectrum can be fitted with a power-law model with a photon index of 1.5; the 0.5-10 keV luminosity is estimated to be 2.7 x 1038 erg/s (assuming a distance of 780 kpc).

    MAAT: an IFU for GTC optimized using spectrograph wavefront measurements and superoptimization
    The Mirror-slicer Array for Astronomical Transients (MAAT) is an IFU now being manufactured for the OSIRIS spectrograph on the 10.4-m GRANTECAN (GTC) telescope at La Palma. It is based on the Advanced Image Slicer (AIS) concept as are MUSE and KMOS on the VLT (among many others). Very significant changes to the design had to be made due in part to

    JWST observations of Chiron: A unique active Centaur beyond 18 AU
    Chiron is the second-largest Centaur, with an effective diameter of 210 km, and is among the most well-studied minor bodies in the middle and outer Solar System. Notably, Chiron belongs to the enigmatic subpopulation of active Centaurs and has displayed cometary activity several times since its discovery. In March 2021, Chiron underwent an outburst

    FRIDA: diffraction-limited imaging and integral-field spectroscopy for the GTC
    FRIDA is a diffraction-limited imager and integral-field spectrograph for the adaptive-optics focus of the Gran Telescopio Canarias. In imaging mode FRIDA provides scales of 10, 20 and 40 mas/pixel and in IFS mode spectral resolutions of about 1200, 4000 and 30,000. Coronographic masks are available in both modes for highcontrast images. FRIDA is
