  • Precision Astronomy with Small Satellites: Research on Pointing Correction Techniques
    This proposal aims to develop an innovative Pointing and Focus Correction System (PFCS) to address critical challenges in achieving high-precision observations with small satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The PFCS represents a transformative leap in space instrumentation, enabling high-precision pointing stability at the 2-arcsecond level and

  • Preparing the preliminary design review of EST MCAO
    The objective of this proposal is to validate the high-level design of the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) of the European Solar Telescope (EST) in order to prepare the corresponding Preliminary Design Review (PDR). With a 4.2 m primary mirror, EST will be the largest solar telescope in Europe and it will provide the scientific community

  • Science and technology for the Ariel mission: IAC contribution
    The exoplanet field has witnessed a revolution with the results of the Kepler and CoRoT space missions, which uncovered a large population of small planets, a few of which in the habitable zones of their stars. The more recent TESS mission is helping to make a census of planets with bright stellar hosts. Furthermore, a new generation of space

  • Consolidating plans for the Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope ATLAST2
    The landscape of future European ground-based astronomical research infrastructures planned for launch in the 2030s is broad and diverse, ranging from low-frequency radio (SKAO) to optics (ELT, EST), cosmic rays (CTAO), and gravitational waves (Einstein Telescope). However, there are two notable omissions. The first is a sensitive, high-resolution
