Description
We present optical and near IR follow up observations of the dark GRB 001109, 1-300 days after the event. No transient emission has been found for these wavelengths within this GRB's (Gamma Ray Burst) BeppoSAX 1' radius error box. Strong limits are set with K' > 20. A highly reddened galaxy, with variable radio emission, was found at z = 0.398. It is undergoing star formation, but seems to be unrelated to the event. We discuss the implications of these observations in the context of the dark GRB class.

    Co-phasing the distributed aperture of a Fizeau interferometer via photonic lanterns and machine learning
    The advantage of large optical telescopes from the ground for high-contrast direct imaging relies on achieving exquisite control of the incident optical wavefront. Since the exoplanet problem almost always has a bright star within a small field of view there are usually ample photons for measuring the atmospheric and telescopedistorted wavefront. A

    Conceptual optical design of the infrared integral field spectropolarimeter for the European Solar Telescope
    The European Solar Telescope (EST), with its primary mirror of 4.2 diameter, will be the largest solar telescope available in Europe. EST will offer Integral Field Spectropolarimetry (IFS) by incorporating the EST spectropolariMeter Based on slicEr-mirrors for the near-infraRed (EMBER). This instrument is a high-resolution spectropolarimeter that
