Description
The goal of this paper is to present the Transmission Matrix of the SPI Mask STM/QM Model. The experimental set-up used to determine INTEGRAL Spectrometer (SPI) Mask Transmission Matrix is hereafter described: collimation system, radioactive sources, energy ranges covered and pitch angles covering the expected SPI Field of View. The QM results fulfil transparency/opacity requirements. Same materials and manufacturing procedures have been used in both STM/QM and FM Masks, consequently we do not expect significant changes on the FM Transmission Matrix. Preliminary results of the Flight Model support this statement.

    Study of basaltic asteroids through their phase curves
    Introduction Classified as type-V, the basaltic asteroids of the Main Belt (MB), for the most part, are connected to Vesta's dynamic family. However, since the discovery of the V-type asteroid (1459) Magnya in the outer MB, several new asteroids have been found in different regions, including V-types from inner regions not belonging to the Vesta

    ANDES, the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT: science goals, project overview, and future developments
    The first generation of ELT instruments includes an optical-infrared high resolution spectrograph, indicated as ELT-HIRES and recently christened ANDES (ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph). ANDES consists of three fibre-fed spectrographs ([U]BV, RIZ, YJH) providing a spectral resolution of ∼100,000 with a minimum simultaneous wavelength
