Description
We report on an observation performed with the Swift/XRT of the neutron-star X-ray transient Aql X-1 which was recently found to start a new outburst as inferred from an increase in source luminosity in the R and J band data (ATEL #869, #870). The Swift/XRT observation was performed between 31 July 2006 21:47 and 22:05 UT with a duration of 996 seconds. The XRT was in the windowed timing mode.

    Detector upgrade in EMIR@GTC: on-sky performances
    EMIR was shipped to the GTC on May 2016 and had its first light on June 2016. Since the beginning, the EMIR performances have been severely hampered by the many instabilities in the infrared detector, a 2048x2048 Hawaii2, built with the old original technology of the Teledyne Hawaii series. Despite of this, the instrument has proven to be powerful

    The Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE): a space mission for mid-infrared nulling interferometry
    The Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE) is a proposed space mission that enables the spectral characterization of the thermal emission of exoplanets in the solar neighborhood. The mission is designed to search for global atmospheric biosignatures on dozens of temperate terrestrial exoplanets and it will naturally investigate the diversity of
