Description
Subsolar metallicity L subdwarfs was discovered over a decade ago, but remain poor understood due to lack of known objects. We started to search for L subdwarfs since a few years ago and have increased the number of known L subdwarfs from 23 to 57. We are following up 33 L subdwarfs with X-shooter on the Very Large Telescope. We are also measuring parallaxes of 20 L subdwarfs with the OSIRIS on the Gran Telescopio Canarias.

    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
