  • TANNHAUSER C-Band Optical Communications System for the Nasmyth Focus of the Two-Meter Twin Telescope (TTT) at Teide Observatory
    The TANNHAUSER project is a public-private collaboration initiative in which the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) participates as a collaborating partner. Its main objective is to develop and integrate an advanced optical communications system into the Nasmyth platform of the Two-meter Twin Telescope (TTT), located at the Teide

  • A pilot survey to unveil dormant black holes
    Black holes (BHs) are the pinnacle of extreme gravity. They are responsible for the most violent phenomena observed in the Universe, from long gamma-ray bursts, tidal disruption events to gravitational waves (GW). Despite the recent growth in extragalactic BH discoveries by LIGO-VIRGO, our knowledge of the seed BH population is severely hindered by

  • Polarimetric inference of magnetic fields
    The magnetic field is the main driver of the spectacular activity of the solar atmosphere, which covers the photosphere, chromosphere, transition region, and corona. This is true also for many other stars, although it is in the Suns atmosphere where we can observe the consequences of the interaction between an astrophysical plasma and its magnetic

  • PARSEC central de galaxias y tecnicas de alta resolucion espacial
    PARSEC is an unique project in the astronomy community committed to the dual effort of maximum angular resolution -parsec-, maximum spectral coverage, and time simultaneity, in the study of the centre of galaxies. The systematic use of these observation constraints has allowed PARSEC to full fill its main goal, i.e. to isolate the core emission of

  • Enabling precision cosmology with the cosmic microwave background: QUIJOTE and other microwave experiments at the Teide Observatory
    The main goal of this project is to support, during the period 2024-2027, the scientific exploitation of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments in which the IAC cosmology group is involved (QUIJOTE, TMS, GroundBIRD, LSPE-STRIP, ELFS-SA), to contribute to the design of the new generation of ground-based CMB instruments, and to prepare for
