The agreement with PPARC and NWO has ensured operational continuity of the ING, whilst, at the same time, providing additional time for Spanish astronomers. The IAC contribution consists of qualified staff, astronomers and engineers, plus an infrared imaging spectrograph for the WHT (LIRIS). The overall IAC contribution is equivalent to about half

We report the results from a photometric and spectroscopic survey of ˜1.4 deg2 of the young open cluster IC 2602. Fourteen objects have been identified as having magnitudes, spectral types and radial velocities consistent with being probable or possible low-mass stellar members of the cluster. We have used the observed location of the lithium

We present the detection of 10 lines of singly ionized neodymium (Nd ii, Z = 60) in H-band spectra using observations from the SDSS-III Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) survey. These lines were detected in a metal-poor ([Fe/H] ∼ ‑1.5), neutron-capture element-enhanced star recently discovered in the APOGEE sample

IPHAS is a deep, fully photometric H α survey of the northern Galactic plane carried out with the Isaac Newton telescope at La Palma. The IPHAS point source Hα catalogue (complete up to r=19.5 mag) will be a prime source for GTC programs related to important short-lived (and poorly known) stages of evolution: pre- and post-main sequence stars, the

The Local Group Census is a narrowband imaging survey aimed at cataloguing the emission-line populations in the galaxies of the Local Group. Data, which were obtained using the Wide Field Camera of the 2.5m Isaac Newton Telescope, are available to the whole astronomical community, resulting in a valuable imaging resource for follow-up spectroscopy
