    A Census of Dust in Early-Type Galaxies – from GAMA and Herschel Surveys.
    Elliptical and lenticular galaxies are often thought of as ‘red and dead’. However, hierarchical mergers are likely to leave traces of the process of galaxy...

    A CLOSE LOOK INTO THE OUTBURST EVOLUTION OF BLACK HOLE X-RAY BINARIES
    X-ray observations performed by several missions during the last few decades have provided a very large data base on black hole X-ray binaries. Many of these...

    A cross-match of 2MASS and SDSS: Peculiar L dwarfs and unresolved binaries
    We present the completion of a program to cross-correlate the SDSS Data Release 1 and 2MASS Point Source Catalog in search for extremely red L and T dwarfs. The...

    A decadal survey of AO wavefront sensing detector developments in Europe, the OCAM revolution
    The success of the next generation of instruments for 8 to 40-m class telescopes will depend on the ability of Adaptive Optics (AO) systems to provide excellent...

    A deeper look on thick discs using data from the Spitzer Survey of Stellar Structure in Galaxies (S4G)
    Thick discs are disc-like components with a scale height larger than that of the classical discs. They are most easily detected in close to edge-on galaxies in...

    A faint glow to trace the dark matter
    The faint glow produced by the stripped stars of the galaxies within clusters is shown to follow the dark matter distribution with extreme accuracy. In this...

    A GTC survey of exoplanet atmosphere with transmission spectroscopy
    Transmission spectroscopy has been a powerful tool to decipher the atmospheric compositions of transiting exoplanets. The recent HST survey has shown that...

    A Hundred Years after: Gravitational Waves, Black Holes, GW150914
    A discussion of the first observation ever of gravitational waves. Present detectors, future detectors, and the perspectives for gravitational wave astronomy.
  • Talk
    A large spectroscopic survey facility at GTC for the next decade
    In the next decade astronomers will attempt to constrain the nature of dark matter, dark energy and the (perhaps inflationary) processes which generated...
