Descripción
We are carrying out a project devoted to study the internal structure of a representative sample of about 70 low-redshift LIRGs and ULIRGs using several optical and near-IR IFS facilities. Here we present the main characteristics of this project, and discuss recent results derived from optical data obtained with the VIMOS / VLT instrument. In particular, we comment on the 2D kinematics of the ionized and neutral gas for two prototypical LIRGs. We also discuss the excitation conditions in the extra-nuclear extended regions in LIRGs in terms of fundamental properties of the systems, such as their luminosity and dynamical status (isolated, pairs, or merger remnants). We found that the interaction process itself, more than a super-wind caused by the star formation, seems to be the main origin of the shocks in the extended extra-nuclear regions of interacting and merging systems.

    New Robotic Telescope system progress towards critical design review
    The 4m class New Robotic Telescope (NRT) is an optical facility designed to revolutionize the rapid follow-up and classification of variable and transient objects. The project is at the stage where key systems are progressing through their detailed design phases, which presents a major engineering challenge for all project partners to manage design

    Phase diversity application on the EST MCAO testbench
    Phase Diversity (PD) is a technique widely used to measure and compensate for Non-Common Path Aberrations (NCPA) in optical systems. Beyond its traditional applications, PD has found further uses in solar astrophysics, where it enhances image quality by processing multiple images to correct residual aberrations. In this work, we introduce a

    First light of the upgraded Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    For more than ten years, the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) has been the infrared spectropolarimeter on the Gregor telescope since its inauguration in 2012. The instrument mainly performs polarimetric observations of the wavelength regions at 1083 and 1565nm, which have high scientific potential. There, observers can find spectral lines that
