Description
The Gran Telescopio Canarias Adaptive Optics (GTCAO) is a
single-conjugated post-focal system with a Shack Hartmann wavefront
sensor, and one Deformable Mirror (DM) conjugated to the pupil. The
optical design for tip-tilt correction includes two different mirrors,
DM and the telescope M2, being M2 also used for off-loading the DM to
avoid reaching its stroke limits. This optical configuration is open to
different control strategies that have been simulated with Matlab. Later
it has also been simulated using Durham Adaptive optics Real-time
Controller (DARC) and its AO simulator, DASP. Finally some preliminary
laboratory results are presented.

Very Low Mass Stars, Brown Dwarfs and Planets
Our goal is to study the processes that lead to the formation of low mass stars, brown dwarfs and planets and to characterize the physical properties of these objects in various evolutionary stages. Low mass stars and brown dwarfs are likely the most numerous type of objects in our Galaxy but due to their low intrinsic luminosity they are not so
