  • Adaptive optics for the Gran Telescopio Canarias
    It is foreseen that the Gran Telescopio Canarias will include an Adaptive Optics (AO) system to provide diffraction-limited images in the near-IR. The preliminary scientific requirements are presented here and are used to determine the basic system specifications. The sky coverage is determined for the cases of natural and laser guide stars.

  • A New Technique for Performing Two-Dimensional Spectroscopy of Objects of Large Dynamic Range: The Binary System HD 167605 A+B
    We present a new technique for performing two-dimensional (integral-field) spectroscopy of objects with a large range in intensity. It is based on the capability of optical fibers to discretize the intensity distribution at the telescope focal plane. This allows not only reformatting but also the equalization of fiber output intensities, matching

  • A catalogue of accurate wavelengths in the optical spectrum of the Sun
    We present accurate measurements of the central wavelengths of 4947 atomic absorption lines in the solar optical spectrum. The wavelengths, precise to a level ~ 50-150 m s(-1) , are given for both flux and disc-centre spectra, as measured in relatively recent FTS solar atlases. This catalogue modernizes existing sources based on photographic

  • Two-dimensional Spectroscopy Reveals an Arc of Extended Emission in the Gravitational Lens System Q2237+0305
    We present two-dimensional spectroscopy of the gravitational lens system Q2237+0305 (Einstein Cross) obtained with the INTEGRAL fiber system in subarcsecond seeing conditions. The four components of the system appear clearly separated in the continuum intensity maps. However, the intensity map of the C III] lambda 1909 line exhibits an arc of
