Instrumentación Espacial

Algunos proyectos científicos requieren realizar observaciones fuera de la atmósfera terrestre, para las que se necesitan globos o satélites artificiales. Estas misiones y experimentos se llevan a cabo con instrumentos científicos desarrollados por grandes consorcios internacionales. Desde sus inicios, el IAC viene participando en este tipo de proyectos elaborando instrumentación de a bordo e instrumentación para los segmentos de tierra

    Stellar populations of galaxies in the ALHAMBRA survey up to z ̃ 1. III. The stellar content of the quiescent galaxy population during the last 8 Gyr
    Aims: We aim at constraining the stellar population properties of quiescent galaxies. These properties reveal how these galaxies evolved and assembled since z ̃...
