Description
The first results of a program of observations designed to probe the structure and kinematics of the Local Interstellar Medium (LISM) using the Queen's University of Belfast Echelle Spectrograph (QUBES) on the 4.2 m William Herschel Telescope are reported. The observations show the potential of the instrument for measuring small column densities and for precise velocity structure analysis.

    ALISIO-1 mission: bridging space and Earth with next-generation CubeSat for optical communications and environmental monitoring
    ALISIO-1, the first satellite owned and led by the Instituto de Astrofısica de Canarias (IAC), represents a significant milestone in the space exploration of the Canary Islands. This 6U CubeSat, whose platform has been developed by Open Cosmos, carries two novel payloads: DRAGO-2 and CubeLCT. DRAGO-2, a Short-Wavelength Infrared (SWIR) camera, is

    From atmospheres to exospheres in exoplanets
    Interaction phenomena between atmospheric layers in planetary atmospheres give rise to highly complex exchanges influencing thermal structure, composition and dynamics. In particular, the question of hydrodynamic escape in exoplanet atmospheres is a key issue for quantifying the mass loss in these atmospheres. Short-period exoplanets subject to
