  • Kinematics of Local Group Dwarf Galaxies: Evolution, Orbits and Star Formation Quenching

    The Local Group (LG) offers us a chance to test the present scenario of galaxy formation in ways that are impossible elsewhere. It contains about 50 know galaxies, most of which are dwarfs so faint that they would not be detected beyond the LG. Hence, ourunderstanding of low-mass galaxy formation physics, strongly tied to models of galaxy feedback

  • Large volume cryostat for integration and verification of cryogenic scientific instrumentation

    This specific equipment will allow to carry out tests in cryogenics and high vacuum conditions of large electro-opto-mechanical systems. The first instrument that will benefit from this infrastructure will be HARMONI, the optical spectrograph / IR developed by ESO as first light instrument for the future Extremely Large European Telescope (ELT)

  • Laser guide star facility for the adaptive optics of GTC

    The aim of the Project is to equip the GRAN TELESCOPIO CANARIAS (GTC) Adaptive Optics system (GTCAO) with a Laser Guide Star (LGS) Facility (LGSF), to extend its sky coverage. The GTCAO system will compensate the atmospheric turbulence in the line of sight of the scientific field of view (FOV), allowing GTC to exploit its high spatial resolution

  • Laser Launch Telescope for Laser Guide Star

    The aim of this project is to provide a Laser Launch Telescope for the Laser Guide Star Facility of the Adaptive Optics system of the GTC telescope. This will allow to increase drastically the capacity of GTC to make high spatial resolution science. The Laser Launch Telescope is in charge of expanding the laser beam and projecting it into the

  • LIFE Natura@night - Reducing and Mitigating the Impact of Light Pollution in Natura 2000 Areas

    For a night with more life" is the motto of the new nature conservation project, LIFE Natura@night, coordinated by the Sociedade Portuguesa para o Estudo das Aves (SPEA) and in which the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) participates. After more than a decade dedicated to reducing the impact of light on biodiversity, the Portuguese Society
