Descripción
Carrying out detailed analyses on massive blue stars further than the Milky Way is a demanding task, however it is feasible and the best way to comprehend the stellar evolution in environments with different metallicity. We present the first quantitative study performed on a massive blue star sample belonging to NGC~55, about 1.9 Mpc away. The project required to develop new automatic techniques, providing an objective spectroscopic analysis method. The results hint to a young population in NGC~55 with masses between about 20-50 Msol, and an average metallicity close to the Large Magellanic Cloud.

    Local seeing analysis for the European Solar Telescope
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) will be built at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, a site known for its excellent atmospheric seeing conditions. The fundamental design of EST lies on two premises to improve the local seeing: placing the primary mirror as far as possible from the ground layer and using an open-air configuration. In

    First on-sky tests of LQG control for a 10m-class telescope: prelude on the Gran Telescopio Canarias adaptive optics system
    The Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) is being equipped with an Adaptive Optics (AO) system, developed by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). The Institut d'Optique Graduate School-Laboratoire Charles Fabry (IOGS-LCF), through a collaboration with the IAC, integrated some high performance control solutions. In this proceeding, we present
