Description
Hen 3-1475 (IRAS 17423-1755) has recently been identified via ground-based and HST optical images as a bipolar proto-planetary nebula displaying a remarkable highly--collimated optical jet and a spectacular S-shaped string of knots along its bipolar axis, associated to extremely high velocities which decrease with the distance to the central star. We present new long-slit high resolution spectroscopy of the highly collimated regions of Hen 3-1475. IRAS 17423-1755 The high-dispersion spectra are used together with the high angular resolution images obtained with HST WFPC2 to provide a comprehensive picture of the complex structure and kinematics of the shocked--excited emission and the dust--scattered emission in this proto-planetary nebula. The overall picture supports a temporal and angular variability of the jet ejection.

    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

    The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO)
    The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) is a project dedicated to identifying optical counterparts to gravitational-wave detections using a network of dedicated, wide-field telescopes. After almost a decade of design, construction, and commissioning work, the GOTO network is now fully operational with two antipodal sites: La Palma

    Innovative solution for upgrading commercial bearings for use in cryogenic instruments
    Infrared instruments for astronomy require many bearings for motion that must move in cryogenic conditions. There are poor and expensive options for this, and the companies with qualified bearings only supply after a long time. To attend these constrains, the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) started to develop a procedure to upgrade
