Description
NAHUAL is a high-resolution near-infrared echelle spectrograph of high stability on preliminary phase development for GTC (Gran Telescopio de Canarias). Its natural location is a Nasmyth focus. One of the principal scientific aims is to carry out high precision radial velocity measurements (from 1 to 10 m/s) in the near infrared. To achieve high stability on radial velocity measurements, NAHUAL needs a calibration unit that uses a mixture of gases whose absorption spectra must be as homogeneous as possible between 0.95 and 2.4 μm. We report on the measurements done to date with potentially active gas mixtures as acetylene, methane, nitrous oxide or hydrocarbons.

    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

    The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO)
    The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) is a project dedicated to identifying optical counterparts to gravitational-wave detections using a network of dedicated, wide-field telescopes. After almost a decade of design, construction, and commissioning work, the GOTO network is now fully operational with two antipodal sites: La Palma

    Innovative solution for upgrading commercial bearings for use in cryogenic instruments
    Infrared instruments for astronomy require many bearings for motion that must move in cryogenic conditions. There are poor and expensive options for this, and the companies with qualified bearings only supply after a long time. To attend these constrains, the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) started to develop a procedure to upgrade
