Description
The stellar content of the bulge of the Galaxy is not well characterized yet, in part due to the high extinction and, therefore, limited access at optical wavelengths. The SDSS-III Apache Point Observatory Galaxy Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) is an on-going near-infrared survey acquiring very high quality spectra (S/N > 100 per pixel, R 22,500) of 100,000 giant stars across the Galaxy. The APOGEE survey will enable a detailed exploration of parts of the bulge that are not chemically well known. We will show preliminary results of the composition of bulge stars collected in the first months of the survey. Metallicity distributions will be presented for different bulge fields and compared with results from the literature, where available.

    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

    NIRPS near-infrared spectrograph: AITV phase at ESO3.6m/La Silla
    NIRPS is a fiber-fed AO nIR spectrograph working simultaneously with HARPS at the La Silla-ESO 3.6m telescope. The cryogenic spectrograph operating at 75K employs a cross-dispersed echelle grating (R4), covering a wavelength range of 0.98-1.80 microns in a single image using a Teledyne Hawaii-4RG infrared detector. In early 2022, the NIRPS

    Transport, handling, and integration of the adaptive optics system for GTC: from the laboratory to the telescope
    The Gran Telescopio de Canarias Adaptive Optics System (GTCAO) is currently in its commissioning phase at Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory (ORM). The GTCAO is a single-conjugated post-focal system equipped with a Shack- Hartmann Wavefront Sensor (WFS) and a Deformable Mirror (DM) conjugated to the pupil, achieving a Strehl Ratio of 65% in the K
