Description
Time resolved (40-sec resolution, ~6-hours per night), R-band photometry of the outbursting black hole candidate XTE J1118+480 (ATEL #383) was obtained with the European Space Agency, 1-m OGS telescope at the Spanish Observatorio del Teide (Tenerife) from 2005 Jan 21.01 to Jan 26.30. The average R-band magnitude displays a linear decay with a rate of ~0.06 mag/day. Mean magnitudes are: Jan 21.3, 13.54+-0.01; Jan 22.07, 13.61+-0.01; Jan 23.14, 13.65+-0.01; Jan 24.15, 13.70+-0.01; Jan 25.15, 13.77+-0.01; Jan 26.12, 13.84+-0.01.

    ANDES, the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT: design of the adaptive optics system
    ANDES,the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT, will work both in seeing limited mode and with Adaptive Optics (AO) correction. ANDES-SCAO is a single conjugated AO system working with natural guide stars, feeding the IFU coupled to the YJH spectrograph. The main science goal of the ANDES AO mode is the characterization of the exo-planet
