Galaxies in the universe can be located in different environments, some of them are isolated or in low density regions and they are usually called field galaxies. The others can be located in galaxy
FRIDA is an Integral Field Unit (IFU) based on an image dissector system using mirrors, and several optical cameras to cover different spatial scales sampling the GTC diffraction limit in the range 0
FRIDA (inFRared Imager and Dissector for Adaptive optics) is an integral field spectrograph in the near infrared, also with image mode, which will be installed in the GTC telescope. It will use the adaptive optics system of GTC (GTCAO) to observe with very high spatial resolution and spectral resolutions of up to 30,000.
The overall objective of this project is to improve the Outermost Regions excellence in research and their innovation potential to strengthen their participation in EU research and innovation funded projects, and link research activities with territorial development.
This IAC research group carries out several extragalactic projects in different spectral ranges, using space as well as ground-based telescopes, to study the cosmological evolution of galaxies and the
GTCAO is the single-conjugate aAdaptive Optics system being developed for the GTC. In its first light it will consist of a natural star system (NGS), which will be upgraded later to an Artificial
