Observations of binary stars containing an accreting black hole or neutron star often show x-ray emission extending to high energies (>10 kilo--electron volts), which is ascribed accretion disk corona energetic particles akin those seen in the solar corona. Despite their ubiquity, physical conditions coronae remain poorly constrained. Using simultaneous infrared, optical, x-ray, and radio observations Galactic system V404 Cygni, showing a rapid synchrotron cooling event its 2015 outburst, we...
LIRIS is a near-infrared (1-2.5 microns) intermediate resolution spectrograph (R=1000-3000) with added capabilities for multi-slit, imaging, coronography, and polarimetry, built by the IAC to be common instrument WHT (La Palma). Here we report results of two commissioning periods. The image quality was checked, obtaining FWHM 0".5 in Ks band over whole field view (4'.2 x 4'.2). Zero points sky brightness were measured, very low values found latter. long slit spectra obtained matched expected...
We report on the design, on-sky performance, and status of FLAMINGOS-2 instrument – fully-cryogenic facility near-infrared imager multi-object spectrograph for Gemini 8-meter telescopes. has a refractive all-spherical optical system providing 0.18-arcsecond pixels 6.2-arcminute circular field-of-view 2048x2048- pixel HAWAII-2 0.9-2.4 μm detector array. A slit/decker wheel mechanism allows selection up to 9 laser-machined plates or 3 long slits spectroscopy over 6x2-arcminute field view,...
The Canarias InfraRed Camera Experiment (CIRCE) is a near-infrared (1–2.5[Formula: see text][Formula: text]m) imager, polarimeter and low-resolution spectrograph operating as visitor instrument for the Gran Telescopio (GTC) 10.4-m telescope. It was designed built largely by graduate students postdocs, with help from University of Florida (UF) astronomy engineering group, funded UF US National Science Foundation. CIRCE intended to fill gap in capabilities prior arrival Especrografo...
