Description
ESPRESSO is a new generation, super stable, high-resolution optical spectrograph, conceived to obtain the best performance in Doppler shift measurements. A concept study of the instrument is being carried out by a Consortium of scientific institutions formed by ESO, OG, IAC, INAF and Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge, all of them leaded by ESO (see Pasquini et al., these proceedings). Within this framework, the optomechanical, mechanical, and thermal conceptual design of ESPRESSO is being developed by engineers at the IAC. This contribution presents an overview of the current optomechanical conceptual design of this spectrograph.

    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

    New Robotic Telescope system progress towards critical design review
    The 4m class New Robotic Telescope (NRT) is an optical facility designed to revolutionize the rapid follow-up and classification of variable and transient objects. The project is at the stage where key systems are progressing through their detailed design phases, which presents a major engineering challenge for all project partners to manage design

    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
