Descripción
We have used a flux-calibrated mosaiced CCD image of M33 in Hα emission to produce a catalogue of the positions and Hα luminosities of 9190 HII regions complete down to a limiting luminosity LHα of 1036 erg/s and constructed a luminosity function (LF) from this catalogue. In contrast to previously published M33 LFs we find the slope of the function to remain almost constant with falling luminosity. Measuring the integrated total Hα luminosity of M33 and subtracting the estimated extrapolated total flux from the HII regions, we are able to infer the flux emitted by the diffuse ionised gas (DIG) across the whole disc to be 35-45% of the total Hα luminosity.

    Local seeing analysis for the European Solar Telescope
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) will be built at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, a site known for its excellent atmospheric seeing conditions. The fundamental design of EST lies on two premises to improve the local seeing: placing the primary mirror as far as possible from the ground layer and using an open-air configuration. In

    First on-sky tests of LQG control for a 10m-class telescope: prelude on the Gran Telescopio Canarias adaptive optics system
    The Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) is being equipped with an Adaptive Optics (AO) system, developed by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). The Institut d'Optique Graduate School-Laboratoire Charles Fabry (IOGS-LCF), through a collaboration with the IAC, integrated some high performance control solutions. In this proceeding, we present
