Description
One of the major problems using quasars to investigate the Hubble diagram is an uncertainty as to the size of the bolometric correction. Some estimates have suggested that it may be as high as 6 magnitudes. To this end, the authors have compiled data from a wide range of sources, to investigate the behaviour of quasar spectra over the range from radio to X-rays, and hence to be able to calculate this important parameter. Here they present a sample of the compiled spectra, whilst a complete catalogue of around two hundred spectra is in preparation.

    MAAT: an IFU for GTC optimized using spectrograph wavefront measurements and superoptimization
    The Mirror-slicer Array for Astronomical Transients (MAAT) is an IFU now being manufactured for the OSIRIS spectrograph on the 10.4-m GRANTECAN (GTC) telescope at La Palma. It is based on the Advanced Image Slicer (AIS) concept as are MUSE and KMOS on the VLT (among many others). Very significant changes to the design had to be made due in part to

    JWST observations of Chiron: A unique active Centaur beyond 18 AU
    Chiron is the second-largest Centaur, with an effective diameter of 210 km, and is among the most well-studied minor bodies in the middle and outer Solar System. Notably, Chiron belongs to the enigmatic subpopulation of active Centaurs and has displayed cometary activity several times since its discovery. In March 2021, Chiron underwent an outburst

    FRIDA: diffraction-limited imaging and integral-field spectroscopy for the GTC
    FRIDA is a diffraction-limited imager and integral-field spectrograph for the adaptive-optics focus of the Gran Telescopio Canarias. In imaging mode FRIDA provides scales of 10, 20 and 40 mas/pixel and in IFS mode spectral resolutions of about 1200, 4000 and 30,000. Coronographic masks are available in both modes for highcontrast images. FRIDA is
