Description
We are using integral field spectroscopy (IFS) data together with archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images, for carrying out a program aimed at studying a representative sample of local luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs and ULIRGs; 11 ≤ log(LIR/L&sun;)≤13). Our goals are to characterize the stellar and ionized gas structure, the two dimensional extinction and star formation, the kinematical properties and the dynamical mass tracers. Here we will review some of the most interesting results obtained from our sample, including detailed studies for some individual galaxies. The implications for deriving the star formation rate (SFR) and mass when studying high-redshift galaxies will be briefly discussed too.

    Phase diversity application on the EST MCAO testbench
    Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a

    First light of the upgraded Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    For more than ten years, the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) has been the infrared spectropolarimeter on the Gregor telescope since its inauguration in 2012. The instrument mainly performs polarimetric observations of the wavelength regions at 1083 and 1565nm, which have high scientific potential. There, observers can find spectral lines that
