Description
Elmer is a visible imager and spectrograph for the Gran Telescopio Canarias, which has been designed in-house. The major features and some of the analysis done are shown for each optical assembly. The image error budget is presented with the current estimations, as well as the foreseen acceptance tests. Finally the present status of the optics is presented.

    European Solar telescope preliminary optical design
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) will be part of the next generation of ground-based solar telescopes. With a primary mirror of 4.2 meters, it will be the largest solar telescope ever built in Europe offering a large collecting area and extremely sharp images, due to the Adaptive Optics (AO) system integrated within the optical path to compensate

    Magnetic activity of red giants: linking chromospheric indicators, oscillations amplitude, and tidal interactions
    According to dynamo theory, stars with convective envelopes efficiently generate surface magnetic fields, which manifest as magnetic activity in the form of starspots, faculae, and/or flares, when their rotation period is shorter than their convective turnover time. Most red giants, having undergone significant spin down while expanding, have slow

    GLACE survey: a window on the evolution of galaxies within clusters. Revealing galaxy evolution within Zw Cl0024.0+1652
    The GLACE (GaLAxy Cluster Evolution) survey represents a groundbreaking effort to explore the evolution of galaxies within galaxy clusters. Using data from the Gran Telescopio de Canarias (GTC), GLACE investigates emission line galaxies (ELGs) and active galactic nuclei (AGN) hosts across various redshifts. Recent observations within the ZwCl 0024
