Description
We present ``BiRD'', a tool for the browsing and visualisation of XMM-Newton high-resolution spectra. The dataset accessed by this utility consists of RGS spectra uniformly processed and calibrated, and fits therefore very nicely into the VO framework. The tool here described provides also additional information that can be relevant to the scientific interpretation of the data. The basic design of this tool can be applied to any set of spectroscopic data. This interface is available at the URL (http://xmm.esac.esa.int/BiRD/)

    Performance of the image persistence model for Euclid infrared detectors
    Large-format infrared detectors are at the heart of major ground and space-based astronomical instruments, and the HgCdTe HxRG is the most widely used. The Near Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP) of the ESA's Euclid mission launched in July 2023 hosts 16 H2RG detectors in the focal plane. Their performance relies heavily on the effect of

    HARMONI at ELT: project status and instrument overview
    HARMONI is the first light visible and near-IR integral field spectrograph for the ELT. It covers a large spectral range from 450 nm to 2450 nm with resolving powers from 3500 to 18000 and spatial sampling from 60 mas to 4 mas. It can operate in two Adaptive Optics modes - SCAO (including a High Contrast capability) and LTAO - or with NOAO. The
