Description
A sample of active galaxies and quasars was observed with a photon-counting detector (IPCS) working in time-resolved imaging mode. The observing and data-reduction technique involves taking short-exposure images, selecting from those the sharpest, and adding them up after having corrected them for image motion. Final resolutions of a few tenths of an arcsec were achieved, with limiting V magnitude of about 15. Preliminary results for the interacting galaxy system Mrk 930 are presented.

    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
