New multi-object spectrograph planned for the 4.2m William Herschell Telescope (WHT) located in the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, on La Palma island.

Very Small Array Extension

The IAC was a participant in this project to create a device capable of generating acoustic signals to carry information about space. Its aim is to create a perception of space without the aid of sight.

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

Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are characterized by a strong emission coming from a very compact region (only few pcs) at the galaxy center. Blazars form a class of AGN, characterized by high luminosity

Keeping the Observatorios de Canarias (OOCC) among the most competitive sites in the World for astronomical observation requires a continuous effort to characterize the conditions of the atmosphere

We are a large, diverse, and very active research group aiming to provide a comprehensive picture for the formation of galaxies in the Universe. Rooted in detailed stellar population analysis, we are constantly exploring and developing new tools and ideas to understand how galaxies came to be what we now observe.

TIP II is an improvement of the Tenerife Infrared polarimeter (TIP) built by the IAC for the VTT telescope in the Teide Observatory. TIP II includes a new detector, and new data acquisition and control systems. It is installed in the GREGOR telescope, ans is used with the GRIS spectrograph.

Una vez construido, el Telescopio de Treinta Metros (Thirty Meter Telescope, TMT) será el telescopio terrestre más avanzado y potente de la historia, así como el telescopio óptico infrarrojo más
