  • The evolution of galaxy clusters from cosmic dawn to noon
    Our overall aim is to understand the role of environment in regulating galaxy growth from the first overdensities at z~6, cosmic dawn, to the galaxy clusters forming at the epoch of peak star formation, z~2, cosmic noon. To accomplish this goal, we have and will assemble a vast data set spanning a wide range of frequencies from the UV to the radio

  • Seismology and sTellar Rotation with TESS
    The last decade, the CoRoT and Kepler/K2 missions have showed the power of asteroseismology in order to determine the fundamental stellar parameters with a better precision than the classical methods. In 2018, NASA successfully launched the TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) mission that will continue the search of exoplanets and allow us

  • Development of the FRIDA control software during the Integration and Testing phases
    The FRIDA instrument is an integral field spectrograph and camera, both designedto work in high spatial resolution, at the diffraction limit of GTC (Gran Telescopio Canarias), in the range of 1 - 2.5 microns. FRIDA is a general purpose instrument for the entire GTC community, its construction approved by the Scientific Advisory Committee of GTC in

  • Scientific analysis of ultra-deep astronomical images
    One of the projects with the greatest impact currently being developed by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias is the state-of-the-art analysis of optical astronomical images and, in particular, the study of objects with ultra-faint surface brightness. We have already made a number of scientific discoveries that have been made possible, not

  • TEIDESAT - TEchincal INvestigation and DEVelopment to SATellites
    Since its origin in December 2017, the TEIDESAT project was founded and is formed and led by a team of students, initially from the University of La Laguna and, later, also from the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and other universities, whose objective is to develop its own space mission. In particular, the goal is to design, manufacture

  • 2D spectroscopy of planetary nebulae with high abundance discrepancies
    The discrepancy between chemical abundances calculated from optical recombination lines (RLs) and collisional excitation lines (CELs) is an important unsolved problem in nebular astrophysics. In planetary nebulae (PNe) there is increasing evidence that the discrepancy is due to the presence of two gas phases: a hot component with standard
