Descripción
We report the discovery of ~10 mHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in a 3.5 ks RXTE observation of the black hole candidate IGR J17091-3624 (ATELs #3144, #3159, #3167, #3203) on March 14th 2011 (MJD 55634.66). Only PCU2 was active, with an average 2-60 keV background-corrected count rate of 110 counts/s. The QPO is visible by eye in the light curve during the first ~1000 seconds and the last ~1500 seconds, with an average 2-60 keV fractional rms amplitude of 5.3+-0.4% and a mean frequency of ~10 mHz.

    Study of basaltic asteroids through their phase curves
    Introduction Classified as type-V, the basaltic asteroids of the Main Belt (MB), for the most part, are connected to Vesta's dynamic family. However, since the discovery of the V-type asteroid (1459) Magnya in the outer MB, several new asteroids have been found in different regions, including V-types from inner regions not belonging to the Vesta

    New Robotic Telescope system progress towards critical design review
    The 4m class New Robotic Telescope (NRT) is an optical facility designed to revolutionize the rapid follow-up and classification of variable and transient objects. The project is at the stage where key systems are progressing through their detailed design phases, which presents a major engineering challenge for all project partners to manage design

    Phase diversity application on the EST MCAO testbench
    Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a
