    HARMONI science path optics: predicting and analysing the expected as-built performance with and end-to-end optical model
    HARMONI, an adaptive optics (AO) assisted integral field spectrograph (IFS), will be the core spectroscopic capability for the European Southern Observatory's (ESO's) Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). It will support several AO modes and achieve diffraction-limited (≈10 mas) to seeing-limited spatial resolution, at low to high spectral resolving

    HARMONI: first light spectroscopy for the ELT: instrument final design and quantitative performance predictions
    HARMONI is the adaptive optics assisted, near-infrared and visible light integral field spectrograph for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). A first light instrument, it provides the work-horse spectroscopic capability for the ELT. As the project approaches its Final Design Review milestone, the design of the instrument is being finalized, and the

    Integration and early testing of WEAVE: the next-generation spectroscopy facility for the William Herschel Telescope
    We present an update on the overall integration progress of the WEAVE next-generation spectroscopy facility for the William Herschel Telescope (WHT), now scheduled for first light in early-2021, with almost all components now arrived at the observatory. We also present a summary of the current planning behind the 5-year initial phase of survey

    Intensity interferometry with MAGIC
    MAGIC is a system of two 17m diameter Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) situated on the observatory of the Roque de los Muchachos on the island of La Palma, 2200m asl. MAGIC is currently in operation for the observation of VHE gamma-ray sources. Here we report the installation of a system to perform intensity interferometry

    LiteBIRD satellite: JAXA's new strategic L-class mission for all-sky surveys of cosmic microwave background polarization
    LiteBIRD, the Lite (Light) satellite for the study of B-mode polarization and Inflation from cosmic background Radiation Detection, is a space mission for primordial cosmology and fundamental physics. JAXA selected LiteBIRD in May 2019 as a strategic large-class (L-class) mission, with its expected launch in the late 2020s using JAXA's H3 rocket

    Microbolometer arrays for ground-based infrared imaging
    Mid-infrared observations are a vital tool for the study of a wide range of astrophysical phenomena. However, ground-based mid-infrared detectors must overcome the challenge of the overwhelming thermal background from sky and telescope emissions making them prohibitively costly for smaller (< 3 m) facilities. We describe the design and testing of a
