In this communication we describe two optical fiber systems contrived to perform simultaneous bidimensional spectroscopy of extended objects: 2D_FIS and HEXAFLEX II. The main component of 2D_FIS is an optical fiber bundle which links the auxiliary Cassegrain focus of the 4.2 m William Herschel Telescope (WHT) with the ISIS spectrograph. HEXAFLEX II

In view of more general applications, we have developed a new approach to render explicit the temperature both in the source function of the radiative transfer equation and in the constraint of radiative equilibrium. This is a necessary step in the iterative temperature correction when computing stellar atmosphere models. Our method consists of a

This paper presents a solution to correct wind induced deformation on a 8.0 m thin meniscus mirror supported by a system of astatic active supports. The correction scheme is based on an active correction using the force actuators which support the mirror, and a passive rate dependent coupling of the mirror to the cell. The paper identifies the

The critical values for the mass of the Higgs bosons, at which the theory becomes strongly interacting, are calculated using the equivalence theorem, at high energies this allows us to replace the longitudinally polarized gauge bosons in the $S$ matrix for the corresponding Goldstone bosons. An appropriate ansatz for defining the would-be Goldstone

We construct a countable inductive limit of weighted Banach spaces of holomorphic functions, which is not a topological subspace of the corresponding weighted inductive limit of spaces of continuous functions. The main step of our construction, using a special sequence of outer holomorphic functions, shows that a certain sequence space is
