Descripción
The construction of the GTC (Gran Telescopio Canarias) on La Palma, Canary Islands, is well under way with first light planned for October 2003. All subsystems are developed and are now in the fabrication or commissioning phase. Apart from the suite of instruments, this paper discusses the design and procurement of the CCD camera systems, which are designed for the close-loop active optics and the acquisition and guiding purposes of the telescope (wavefront sensors and guiding cameras) and for in-house developed scientific instrumentation. Furthermore, we describe our test bench facility for CCD evaluation up to surface sizes equivalent to a 4Kx4K, 15 μm detector.

    Workshop summary: Kaons@CERN 2023

    Kaon physics is at a turning point - while the rare-kaon experiments NA62 and KOTO are in full swing, the end of their lifetime is approaching and the future experimental landscape needs to be defined. With HIKE, KOTO-II and LHCb-Phase-II on the table and under scrutiny, it is a very good moment in time to take stock and contemplate about the

    First light and results for atmospheric characterization with The Near Infra-Red Planet Searcher (NIRPS)

    NIRPS is a new fiber-fed high spectral resolution (~80k) spectrograph assisted by adaptive optics installed on the 3.6m telescope of ESO at LaSilla, Chile. Operated simultaneously with HARPS, NIRPS covers the Y, J, and H bands. The commissioning phase demonstrated high stability for time-series observations along precise radial velocities reaching

    Nodal Precession of a Hot Jupiter Transiting the Edge of a Late A-Type Star TOI-1518

    TOI-1518b, a hot Jupiter around a late A-type star, is one of the few planetary systems that transit the edge of the stellar surface (the impact parameter b~0.9) among hot Jupiters around hot stars (Cabot et al. 2021). The host star's high rotation speed (Vsini s~85 km s -1) and the planet's nearly polar orbit (λ~120 deg) may cause a nodal
