Description
We present the thermal-magnetic relation in a simple, isolated sunspot deduced from the inversion of 1.56 μm spectropolarimetric data. Due to the high Zeeman sensitivity of the g = 3, Fe I 1.5648 μm line, we can study this relationship in the entire sunspot. An inversion technique based on response functions is used to derive various parameters, both as a function of location within the sunspot and of height in the atmosphere. In this paper we attempt to relate field strength, vertical and radial field components and the field inclination with temperature.

    MAAT: an IFU for GTC optimized using spectrograph wavefront measurements and superoptimization
    The Mirror-slicer Array for Astronomical Transients (MAAT) is an IFU now being manufactured for the OSIRIS spectrograph on the 10.4-m GRANTECAN (GTC) telescope at La Palma. It is based on the Advanced Image Slicer (AIS) concept as are MUSE and KMOS on the VLT (among many others). Very significant changes to the design had to be made due in part to

    JWST observations of Chiron: A unique active Centaur beyond 18 AU
    Chiron is the second-largest Centaur, with an effective diameter of 210 km, and is among the most well-studied minor bodies in the middle and outer Solar System. Notably, Chiron belongs to the enigmatic subpopulation of active Centaurs and has displayed cometary activity several times since its discovery. In March 2021, Chiron underwent an outburst
