  • Mineralogical characterization of primitive asteroids and space exploration
    The scientific objective of this project is the compositional characterization of the primitive asteroids, which we will carry out through three actions: 1. Participation in the two space missions that will visit and study near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) of primitive type. 2. The compositional characterization of the collisional families and groups of

  • Laser Launch Telescope for Laser Guide Star
    The aim of this project is to provide a Laser Launch Telescope for the Laser Guide Star Facility of the Adaptive Optics system of the GTC telescope. This will allow to increase drastically the capacity of GTC to make high spatial resolution science. The Laser Launch Telescope is in charge of expanding the laser beam and projecting it into the

  • Large volume cryostat for integration and verification of cryogenic scientific instrumentation
    This specific equipment will allow to carry out tests in cryogenics and high vacuum conditions of large electro-opto-mechanical systems. The first instrument that will benefit from this infrastructure will be HARMONI, the optical spectrograph / IR developed by ESO as first light instrument for the future Extremely Large European Telescope (ELT)

  • Cosmic microwave background from the OT: QUIJOTE and other experiments
    The main goal of this project is to consolidate and to guarantee the scientific leadership of those CMB experiments operating from the Teide Observatory (OT), and in which the IAC’s cosmology group is involved. On the one hand, the QUIJOTE experiment and the new generation of associated microwave instrumentation (MFI2 and the TMS spectrograph). On

  • EMCCD camera with electronic shutter for uplink laser wavefront correction
    This funding will allow the purchase of a camera with electronic shutter and electronic multiplication as well, which is not availbable at the moment at IAC, and which will ne added to the set of cameras devoted to research and development. Since 1995, the IAC has been involved in many proyects related with optical communications in space, which
