Description
The solar spectrophotometer "Mark-I", located at the Observatorio del Teide and continuously operated for the latest 36, provides a high precision measurement of the radial velocity of the Sun-as-a-star which has enabled the study of the small velocity fluctuations produced by normal modes solar oscillations and the characterization of its spectrum. Furthermore, because of its high sensitivity and long term instrumental stability also provides a daily accurate determination (less than 1 m s^{-1}) of the daily radial velocity offset, the so-called "solar gravitational red-shift" (GRS). In the present work, first results of the analysis of this parameter over the whole period 1976-2011 are presented.

    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
