  • Search, impact and fundamental properties of Ultra-compact X-ray binaries
    The vast majority of the known galactic population of stellar-mass black holes and a significant fraction of the neutron stars are found in X-ray binary systems. Among them, the population of ultra-compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) is of particular interest, as they harbour degenerate donor stars that feed the black-hole/neutron star with hydrogen

  • Stellar populations models with  varying abundance element ratios to constrain galaxy formation timescales
    The formation and evolution of galaxies is considered one of the hottest topics in Modern Astronomy. Studies on their stellar content have provided severe restrictions on their formation processes. A key result is that galaxies show abundances element ratios that differ from those found in the solar neighborhood. The abundance patterns are

  • Development of the FRIDA control software during the Integration and Testing phases
    The FRIDA instrument is an integral field spectrograph and camera, both designedto work in high spatial resolution, at the diffraction limit of GTC (Gran Telescopio Canarias), in the range of 1 - 2.5 microns. FRIDA is a general purpose instrument for the entire GTC community, its construction approved by the Scientific Advisory Committee of GTC in

  • Scientific analysis of ultra-deep astronomical images
    One of the projects with the greatest impact currently being developed by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias is the state-of-the-art analysis of optical astronomical images and, in particular, the study of objects with ultra-faint surface brightness. We have already made a number of scientific discoveries that have been made possible, not

  • TEIDESAT - TEchincal INvestigation and DEVelopment to SATellites
    Since its origin in December 2017, the TEIDESAT project was founded and is formed and led by a team of students, initially from the University of La Laguna and, later, also from the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and other universities, whose objective is to develop its own space mission. In particular, the goal is to design, manufacture

  • 2D spectroscopy of planetary nebulae with high abundance discrepancies
    The discrepancy between chemical abundances calculated from optical recombination lines (RLs) and collisional excitation lines (CELs) is an important unsolved problem in nebular astrophysics. In planetary nebulae (PNe) there is increasing evidence that the discrepancy is due to the presence of two gas phases: a hot component with standard
