Descripción
A technique for obtaining an ideal two-mirror coude system with no instrumental polarization is described. A half-wave plate positioned between the two mirrors with the proper orientation produces the desired effect. The level of spurious polarization is limited by the characteristics of the retarder and the similarity of the mirrors. The telescope design and accuracy are discussed.

    Characterisation at Cryogenic Temperatures of an Attenuator for an Application of Astrophysical Instrumentation with MKIDs
    The use of non-cryogenic certified commercial electronics for cryogenic applications may be attractive due to their cost and availability, but it also carries risks related to reliability, performance and thermal compatibility. The decision to use commercial components that are not certified for cryogenics instead of components specifically

    The CARMENES search for exoplanets around M dwarfs: The impact of rotation and magnetic fields on the radial velocity jitter in cool stars
    Context. Radial velocity (RV) jitter represents an intrinsic limitation on the precision of Doppler searches for exoplanets that can originate from both instrumental and astrophysical sources. Aims. We aim to determine the RV jitter floor in M dwarfs and investigate the stellar properties that lead to RV jitter induced by stellar activity. Methods

    MASTER OT J030227.28+191754.5: An unprecedentedly energetic dwarf nova outburst
    We present a detailed study of the MASTER OT J030227.28 $+$191754.5 outburst in 2021-2022, which reached an amplitude of $10.2\:$mag and a duration of $60\:$d. The detections of (1) the double-peaked optical emission lines, and (2) the early and ordinary superhumps, established that MASTER OT J030227.28 $+$191754.5 is an extremely energetic WZ Sge
