Description
High-resolution observations of the Sun reveal the presence of Magnetic Bright Points (MBPs), which are small-scale features associated with strong magnetic field regions, that are found all over the solar photosphere. In this work, we characterize some physical properties and dynamics of MBPs in a quiet Sun region by using time series of images acquired with the High-resolution Fast Imager HiFI/GREGOR and Solar Optical Telescope SOT/Hinode in the G-band (4308 Angstrom). An automated segmentation algorithm is used to identify the MBPs and track their evolution. The results show observational evidence for two-component distributions of areas, diameters and velocities, that can be interpreted as corresponding to different populations of MBPs.

    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
