Infrared Spectroscopy Of V404 CYGNI. Limits On The Accretion Disc Contamination
We have obtained for the first time 2.10 - 2.45 micron infrared spectra of soft X-ray transient V404 Cygni. We determine a 95 percent confidence upper limit to...
Binary models of symbiotic stars are discussed, analyzing the results of recent IR observations. It is indicated that a binary must have component masses of...
Initial proposal for the ORM 8-m telescope control system design
The Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC) is taking preliminary steps towards the building of an 8-m class optical-infrared telescope to be placed at the...
Initial Results from Near-infrared Spectroscopy of the Klio and Sulamitis Primitive Inner-belt Families: a New "Klio-like" Compositional Group
The PRIMitive Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey (PRIMASS) is a visible and near-infrared study of primitive asteroids throughout the asteroid belt. Nesvorny et al...
Inner and Outer Photometric Structure of Elliptical Galaxies
The Nuker model, when applied to the inner regions of ``core'' galaxies, is shown to produce systematic biases in the determination of the core ``break-radii''...
Innovative aspects to shrink the volume of the future laser guide star facility for the Gran Telescopio Canarias adaptive optics system
This contribution is focused on the innovative aspects of the design of the Laser Guide Star (LGS) Facility for the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) Adaptive...
Innovative real-time processing for solar adaptive optics
Themis is a 90 cm solar telescope which undergoes a rejuvenation of its scientific instruments. In particular, it is about to be equipped with an adaptive...
