Spanish participation in the development of the HARMONI instrument for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT): "Phases of preliminary and final design"
The ESO E-ELT (European Extremely Large Telescope) project consists primarily in building a segmented and adaptive telescope with a 40-metre-class primary mirror. It will significantly improve our knowledge in most branches of Astrophysics and, therefore, it is widely supported by the scientific community. It also represents a major technological
Orientatio ad sidera IV: landscape and cloudscape in astronomy
In this project, a new approach to Cultural Astronomy studies (archaeoastronomy and ethnoastronomy) will be performed, departing from a new perspective related to global landscape, including skyscape. It will also be in continuation of several lines of research in the field developed in previous projects that have served us as an experience to
