Description
We present the results of MASTER Global Robotic Net optical observations of the LIGO GW170104 error-box during the LIGO/Virgo O2 run. We observed 3421 square degrees inside 3σ error-field. Dozens of optical transients unrelated to gravitational waves were discovered as the result of MASTER observation strategy, that we presented, including short very bright MASTER optical transients J133017.28+780951.8.

    Design and manufacture of athermalized optomechanical mounts for GRANCAIN, the infrared imaging instrument for GTC's adaptive optics
    GRANCAIN (GRAN CAmara INfrarroja) is a first-light imaging instrument in the infrared J, H and K bands that will be integrated into the adaptive optics focus of the Gran Telescopio de Canarias. The purpose of the instrument is to capture SWIR diffraction-limited images for a field of view of 22x22 arcsec. The instrument boasts a telecentric optical

    Measuring Rotation Periods and Stellar Oscillations in Red Giants with TESS Data
    TESS is a powerful engine for studying stellar variability. However, it has been challenging to adopt methods used for other space missions, such as Kepler, to infer rotation periods and solar-like oscillation frequencies in TESS data. The availability of multiple sectors of data for most targets, improved stability, and the release of new
