Description
The Optical System for Imaging and low Resolution Integrated Spectroscopy (OSIRIS) is an imaging system and a low-resolution long-slit and multi-object spectrograph for the 10.4m Spaninsh telescope GTC. OSIRIS spectral range (from 365 up to 1000 nm) and observing modes require a wide set of elements in order to provide imaging and spectroscopic capatibilities. Two tunable filters covering the full OSIRIS spectral range allow narrow band imaging with resolutions from R=300 to 1000. Twelve grisms provide spectral resolutions from R=250 through R=2500. In this contribution the design and characteristics of the tunable filters and grisms selected for OSIRIS are presented.

    Galaxy archaeology - The quest for ancient mergers
    The hierarchical assembly of galaxies through mergers is a key channel of galaxy evolution in the ΛCDM cosmological model. Quantifying these ancient transformative accretion events from observations of present day galaxies is a crucial goal of extragalactic archeology. Achieving this goal is challenging as the dominant epoch of galaxy assembly lies

    RAD@home Citizen Scientists Uncover Emerging Jet-Galaxy Interactions
    The RAD12 object's recent investigation (Hota et al. 2022), via the RAD@home Astronomy Collaboratory, has provided a streamlined and focused perspective on the complex subject of jet-galaxy interactions, which has always posed a significant challenge for observational confirmation. This emerging field holds increasing significance, providing a

    A Disc Wind Where You Least Expect It: The Outflow in the Short-period X-ray Binary UW CrB
    Studying outflows of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) is important for understanding the physics of accretion, the evolution of compact binaries, and dynamics of the local interstellar medium. One significant source of these outflows is the accretion disc wind, which can blow away vast amounts of material from the disc before it can be accreted on
