Descripción
Rayleigh scattering produced in the lower atmosphere by laser launched from the ground, could be very relevant for performances of Laser Guide Stars systems and for light contamination measurements in other close telescopes. We have studied the scattering above Teide Observatory (Canary Islands) produced by a potassium laser. We show measurements during two weeks with different atmospheric transparencies, and got information about the variation of aerosol and dust related with altitude and the impact on other close telescopes.

    Binaries as Validation and Calibration Targets for the PLATO Mission
    Detached eclipsing binaries (DEBs) and astrometric binaries provide the opportunity for model-independent dynamical mass determination up to very high accuracy. For the stellar modelling and age-dating, freezing the model-independent mass is the most important and critical constraint to limit systematic uncertainties. In addition, stellar radii can
