Description
We present the preliminary results of a programme aimed at defining a low-resolution near-infrared spectral classification scheme for faint M, L, and T-dwarfs. The method is based on the global shape of R˜100 complete near-infrared spectra from 0.8 to 2.4μm as obtained through a high-throughput prism-based optical element, the Amici device, mounted inside the NICS instrument at the TNG 3.5m telescope (Baffa et al. 2001; Oliva 2000). The aim of our project is to provide an efficient classification scheme based on very low-resolution near infrared spectroscopy, which can be carried on at a 4m-class telescope.

    Phase diversity application on the EST MCAO testbench
    Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a

    First light of the upgraded Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    For more than ten years, the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) has been the infrared spectropolarimeter on the Gregor telescope since its inauguration in 2012. The instrument mainly performs polarimetric observations of the wavelength regions at 1083 and 1565nm, which have high scientific potential. There, observers can find spectral lines that
