Description
OSIRIS (Optical System for Imaging and Low-Resolution Integrated Spectroscopy) is an instrument designed to obtain images and low-resolution spectra of astronomical objects in the optical domain (from 365-1000 nm). It will be installed on Day One (2004) in the Nasmyth focus of the 10-m Spanish GTC Telescope. The mosaic is composed of two abuttable 2Kx4K CCDs to yield a total of 4Kx4K pixels, 15 μm/pixel, 0.1252 plate scale. The arrangement allows the linking of a classical ARC-GenII controller to a PMC frame-grabber, plugged into a VME-CPU card, where a RTOS (VxWorks from Wind River) is running. Some tests and results, carried out with a couple of MAT44-82 engineering grade devices at room temperature, are given.

    The Undiscovered Ultra Diffuse galaxies of the Local Group: predictions from constrained cosmological simulations
    Ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) are attractive candidates to probe cosmological models and test theories of galaxy formation at low masses; however, they are difficult to detect because of their low surface brightness. In the Local Group a handful of UDGs have been found to date, most of which are satellites of the Milky Way and M31, and only two are

    Deriving Star Formation Histories of Galaxies from Spectra with Simulation-based Inference
    High-resolution galaxy spectra encode information about the stellar populations within galaxies. By investigating the properties of these stars, such as their ages, masses, and metallicities, we can gain insights into the underlying physical processes that drive the growth and transformation of galaxies over cosmic time, in particular, the triggers

    A Combined Analysis of Jeans Kinematics and Milli-Second Pulsar Timing Effects: Probing the Mass Contents of Omega Centauri
    We explore the interplay between Jeans analyses of velocity dispersions and millisecond-pulsar (MSP) timing measurements that trace line-of-sight accelerations to analyze the kinematics of Omega Centauri, performing the first combined analysis of its kind. By using HST proper motion data and recent MSP kinematic measurements, we are able to tightly
