Description
Line profiles in ensuremath {{H}alpha } emission from H II region populations in spiral galaxies show emission features at +/-50 km/s from the main emission peaks of a significant fraction of regions, which are characteristic of expanding shells. We interpret these in two possible scenarios: mass-loaded wind outflows from the central OB stars, or dust-coupled, radiation-driven outflows, caused by the same objects.

    Phase diversity application on the EST MCAO testbench
    Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a

    First light of the upgraded Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    For more than ten years, the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) has been the infrared spectropolarimeter on the Gregor telescope since its inauguration in 2012. The instrument mainly performs polarimetric observations of the wavelength regions at 1083 and 1565nm, which have high scientific potential. There, observers can find spectral lines that
