Descripción
The details of the early star formation history of isolated dwarf galaxies can shed light on the role of the cosmic re-ionization and supernova feedback in galaxy formation and evolution. In this paper, we present the project { Local Cosmology from Isolated Dwarfs (LCID), aimed at deriving detailed star formation histories for a sample of Local Group isolated dwarf galaxies. To accomplish this goal we have collected, using the ACS on board the HST, color-magnitude diagrams reaching their oldest main sequence turnoff (V≃29 mag) with good photometric accuracy. Some results are briefly discussed. See http://www.iac.es/project/LCID.

    Study of basaltic asteroids through their phase curves
    Introduction Classified as type-V, the basaltic asteroids of the Main Belt (MB), for the most part, are connected to Vesta's dynamic family. However, since the discovery of the V-type asteroid (1459) Magnya in the outer MB, several new asteroids have been found in different regions, including V-types from inner regions not belonging to the Vesta

    ANDES, the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT: design of the adaptive optics system
    ANDES,the high resolution spectrograph for the ELT, will work both in seeing limited mode and with Adaptive Optics (AO) correction. ANDES-SCAO is a single conjugated AO system working with natural guide stars, feeding the IFU coupled to the YJH spectrograph. The main science goal of the ANDES AO mode is the characterization of the exo-planet
