Description
The ACS Survey of Galactic globular clusters is a Hubble Space Telescope Treasury program which has obtained deep, high quality photometry of 65 clusters. The absolute ages of a sample of clusters which have low reddening and well determined chemical compositions have been determined. A Monte Carlo set of theoretical isochrones has been generated and used to determine the absolute ages. These isochrones take into account the potential uncertainty associated with stellar evolution models and isochrones, and quantify the error associated with the age determination process.

    Study of basaltic asteroids through their phase curves
    Introduction Classified as type-V, the basaltic asteroids of the Main Belt (MB), for the most part, are connected to Vesta's dynamic family. However, since the discovery of the V-type asteroid (1459) Magnya in the outer MB, several new asteroids have been found in different regions, including V-types from inner regions not belonging to the Vesta

    NIRPS near-infrared spectrograph: AITV phase at ESO3.6m/La Silla
    NIRPS is a fiber-fed AO nIR spectrograph working simultaneously with HARPS at the La Silla-ESO 3.6m telescope. The cryogenic spectrograph operating at 75K employs a cross-dispersed echelle grating (R4), covering a wavelength range of 0.98-1.80 microns in a single image using a Teledyne Hawaii-4RG infrared detector. In early 2022, the NIRPS

    Transport, handling, and integration of the adaptive optics system for GTC: from the laboratory to the telescope
    The Gran Telescopio de Canarias Adaptive Optics System (GTCAO) is currently in its commissioning phase at Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory (ORM). The GTCAO is a single-conjugated post-focal system equipped with a Shack- Hartmann Wavefront Sensor (WFS) and a Deformable Mirror (DM) conjugated to the pupil, achieving a Strehl Ratio of 65% in the K
