We present a comparison of the velocity power spectra between the GOLF and MDI instruments. In addition, this poster outlines work towards creating a GOLF-simulated signal utilizing MDI velocity images. The simulation of the GOLF signal is achieved by integrating spatially weighted masks with MDI LOI-proxy velocity images. The GOLF-simulated signal

Low-luminosity active galactic nuclei, i.e. L_{bol}/Ledd ∼ 10-6-10-3, constitute the bulk population of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Powerful jets, common in these objects, are a crucial source of feedback energy-driving mass outflows into the host galaxy and the intergalactic medium. This paper reports the first direct measurement of powerful

The requirements for current large and future extremely large telescopes as well as the quick development of IR instrumentation demand a proper characterization of precipitable water vapour (PWV) above astronomical sites. A comparison of PWV estimations from a photometer and a GPS (Global Positioning System) above the Observatorio del Roque de los

Integral field spectroscopy is a modern technique used in Astronomy to obtain simultaneous spectral information of all points in a bidimensional field of view. This communication presents the preliminary design of a multi-slit image slicer to be coupled to the spectrographs of the 4 meters aperture European Solar Telescope. This integral field unit

A population of small main-belt asteroids residing on closely similar orbits was revealed by Vokrouhlicky and Nesvorny (2008, Astron. J. 136, 280-290). We have estimated statistical significances of individual pairs (Pravec and Vokrouhlicky 2009, Icarus, in press) and started a photometry observing program to characterize their spin properties
