Descripción
Recently, mid-infrared (MIR) interferometry and single-dish high angular resolution imaging has revealed the presence of dust in the polar regions of nearby active galactic nuclei (AGN), on scales from parsecs to hundreds of parsecs. However, the nature, extent, and connection to the postulated outflows and inflows in the AGN environs is poorly constrained. The unprecedented sensitivity and PSF stability of JWST enables MIR observations and physical characterization of the polar dust (extending perpendicular to the accretion disk) in nearby AGN. We present early results of our program of eight AGN, with emphasis on the Seyfert 2 NGC 5728. Here the polar dust emission is correlated with the optically thin ionized emission and is possibly connected to the outflowing material.

    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

    The Multi Frequency Instrument 2 (MFI2): mechanical design, manufacture, integration, and commissioning of the MFI2 for the QUIJOTE facility in Tenerife (Canary Islands)
    The QUIJOTE (Q-U-I JOint TEnerife) experiment combines the operation of two radio-telescopes and three instruments working in the microwave bands from 10 to 47 GHz at the Teide Observatory, Tenerife, which has already been presented in previous SPIE meetings. The new Multi Frequency Instrument (MFI2) led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias

    Performance of the image persistence model for Euclid infrared detectors
    Large-format infrared detectors are at the heart of major ground and space-based astronomical instruments, and the HgCdTe HxRG is the most widely used. The Near Infrared Spectrometer and Photometer (NISP) of the ESA's Euclid mission launched in July 2023 hosts 16 H2RG detectors in the focal plane. Their performance relies heavily on the effect of
