This paper presents data on the simultaneous and complementary observations of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) GRB 161017A for optical, X-ray, and gamma wavelengths obtained by the Russian multi-messenger Lomonosov space observatory and supplemented by additional data from the Swift satellite as well as the ground-based MASTER Global Robotic Net and the

We validate the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model for precipitable water vapour (PWV) forecasting as a fully operational tool for optimizing astronomical infrared observations at Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (ORM). For the model validation, we used GNSS-based (Global Navigation Satellite System) data from the PWV monitor located at

The Planet Formation Imager (PFI) is a near- and mid-infrared interferometer project with the driving science goal of imaging directly the key stages of planet formation, including the young proto-planets themselves. Here, we will present an update on the work of the Science Working Group (SWG), including new simulations of dust structures during

Pierced mirrors are used in high resolution and ultrastable spectrographs to feed guiding cameras and to improve the target stability. This paper describes the concept, design, manufacture, test and integration of ESPRESSO pierced mirrors which are part of the Fiber Link subsystem. ESPRESSO is a spectrograph located in the Coude Laboratory of VLT

Chromospheric LAyer Spectro-Polarimeter (CLASP2) is our next sounding rocket experiment after the success of Chromospheric Lyman-Alpha Spectro-Polarimeter (CLASP1). CLASP2 is scheduled to launch in 2019, and aims to achieve high precision measurements ( 0.1 %) of the linear and circular polarizations in the Mg ii h and k lines near the 280 nm

The process pp → p ℓ + ℓ -p(*), with ℓ + ℓ - a muon or an electron pair produced at midrapidity with mass larger than 110 GeV, has been observed for the first time at the LHC in pp collisions at √{s}=13 TeV. One of the two scattered protons is measured in the CMS-TOTEM precision proton spectrometer (CT-PPS), which operated for the first time in
