A Deformable Mirror Controller (DMC) has been devised to overcome the open-loop nature of Multi Object Adaptive Optics (MOAO), in particular for AO systems with update rates of 1 ms or less. The system is based on a figure sensor, which uses a monochromatic illumination source and a Shack-Hartmann (SH) wavefront sensor (WFS) to obtain a fine

The correction of the wavefront in optical systems implies the use of wavefront sensors, software, and auxiliary optical systems. We propose evaluated the wavefront using the fact that the wavefront and its intensity are related in the mathematical expression the irradiance transport equation (ITE)

We report a new observation of Nova Vul 2007 (S. Nakano, IAUC 8861) obtained by the Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT) on 2008 June 18. The nova was detected at count rate of 0.023 count/s, representing a decline by a factor of 3 compared with Swift XRT observations obtained during 2007 November- December, and by about 50% compared with the previous

We present infrared observations of the counterparts to the X- ray transients SLX 1746-331 and XTE J1810-189 obtained with the 6.5m Magellan Baade telescope at Las Campanas Observatory. Both sources were re-observed with the PANIC camera in order to confirm the candidate counterparts proposed in ATels #1252 and #1508. SLX 1746-331.- The black hole

In order to understand the parameters of the standard model of electroweak and strong interactions (coupling constants, masses, mixing angles) one needs to embed the standard model into some larger theory that accounts for the observed values. This means some additional sector is needed that fixes and stabilizes the values of the fundamental
