Descripción
After a brief description of how spectral emission lines can be studied by the self-absorption-curve method, we show what happens when it is used to examine the FeIII and NII lines of P Cygni. An extremely surprising result is obtained; more highly-excited pure-emission lines without blueshifted absorption appear to be optically thicker than less-excited lines with blueshifted absorption. Such an effect is understandable if there are inhomogeneities in the wind.

    HARMONI at ELT: HIPOTEC electronics and control system
    HARMONI is the first light visible and near-IR integral field spectrograph for the ELT. It covers a large spectral range from 470nm to 2450nm with resolving powers from 3300 to 18000 and spatial sampling from 60 mas to 4 mas. It can operate in two Adaptive Optics modes - SCAO (including a High Contrast capability) and LTAO - or with NOAO. The

    GTCAO low-frequency tip-tilt offload to M2
    GTCAO is the instrument that implements Adaptive Optics on GTC. For atmospheric turbulence correction, GTCAO uses a deformable mirror. Unlike other AO systems, GTCAO does not include a dedicated mirror for low-frequency tip-tilt (TT) correction. In the absence of dedicated correction, the TT components of atmospheric turbulence are corrected by the
