Description
It is pointed out that the phenomenon of solar rotation is known since the introduction of the telescope into astronomy by Galilei in 1610. Regular measurements concerning the positions of sunspots were conducted with the aid of photographic plates at the Royal Greenwich Observatory during the time from 1874 to 1976. The obtained data provide an excellent basis for statistical analysis. Information obtained as a result of such analyses is discussed. Attention is given to the determination of the Wilson depression, details regarding solar differential rotation, plans for an evaluation of data with the aid of a computer, the rotation of the solar plasma, a comparison of sunspots and plasma, the theory of differential rotation, and new information concerning solar rotation partly obtained with the aid of solar telescopes in a Spanish observatory on the island of Tenerife.

    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

    ANDES, the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT: science goals, project overview, and future developments
    The first generation of ELT instruments includes an optical-infrared high resolution spectrograph, indicated as ELT-HIRES and recently christened ANDES (ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph). ANDES consists of three fibre-fed spectrographs ([U]BV, RIZ, YJH) providing a spectral resolution of ∼100,000 with a minimum simultaneous wavelength
