General
Description

The High Optical Resolution  Spectrograph (HORuS) is a high-resolution spectrograph in operation at the 10-m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) based on components from UES. HORuS is a cross-dispersed echelle spectrograph to observe in the range 380-800 nm with a FWHM resolving power of about 25,000. 

HORuS is being actively used for research in the chemical composition of stars and planets.

    DALI(PoP). Pioneering the tunable broad band search for axion dark matter above 25 μeV
    The detection of the axion would be one of the most important events in the history of science. This hypothetical particle can simultaneously solve two fundamental questions of modern physics: the problem of violation of charge-parity (CP) symmetry in the strong interaction and the mystery of dark matter. The axion couples to photons. The search
