Descripción
The integration and verification phase of the GREGOR telescope reached
an important milestone with the installation of the interim 1 m
SolarLite primary mirror. This was the first time that the entire light
path had seen sunlight. Since then extensive testing of the telescope
and its subsystems has been carried out. The integration and
verification phase will culminate with the delivery and installation of
the final 1.5 m Zerodur primary mirror in the summer of 2010.
Observatory level tests and science verification will commence in the
second half of 2010 and in 2011. This phase includes testing of the main
optics, adaptive optics, cooling and pointing systems. In addition,
assuming the viewpoint of a typical user, various observational modes of
the GREGOR Fabry-Pérot Interferometer (GFPI), the Grating
Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS), and high-speed camera systems will be
tested to evaluate if they match the expectations and science
requirements. This ensures that GREGOR will provide high-quality
observations with its combination of (multi-conjugate) adaptive optics
and advanced post-focus instruments. Routine observations are expected
for 2012.

Magnestismo Solar y Estelar
Los campos magnéticos son uno de los ingredientes fundamentales en la formación de estrellas y su evolución. En el nacimiento de una estrella, los campos magnéticos llegan a frenar su rotación durante el colapso de la nube molecular, y en el fin de la vida de una estrella, el magnetismo puede ser clave en la forma en la que se pierden las capas
