Descripción
The Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC) has presented the proposal for the Observatorio Roque de los Muchachos (ORM) 8 m telescope. As a part of this project, we have proposed a distributed control system using the Controller Area Network (CAN) protocol for the control of hundreds of force actuators for the support of the 8 m diameter thin meniscus mirror, allowing active optics applications. Recently, our efforts in this area have focused on the development of a low cost, compact, force actuator `node' with a view towards large scale production. We present hardware and software details of the node prototype and our plans for the incorporation and evaluation of 18 such nodes in the IAC 1 m mirror support test rig. We also provide details of an extension in actuator closed loop bandwidth to around 10 Hz.

    The effect of local and large scale environment on star formation histories in galaxies
    The environment of galaxies plays a key role in their evolution. The availability of large extragalactic surveys makes it possible to place a galaxy not only in its immediate environment, but also in its position within the large-scale structure of the universe. Within this context, we investigate how the local environment influences the star

    The role of AGN feedback on the evolution of dwarf galaxies from cosmological simulations: SMBHs suppress star formation in low-mass galaxies
    Recent observational studies suggest that feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGNs) may play an important role in the formation and evolution of low-mass dwarf galaxies, an issue that has received little attention from a theoretical perspective. We investigate this using two sets of 12 cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulations of the

    Using gas kinematics to measure resonant structures in disc galaxies: the interaction of M51 with NGC 5195
    Interstellar gas offers advantages when quantifying the structure of the resonances in disc galaxies. The gas is concentrated close to the disc mid-plane, making it easier to determine its in-plane velocity components, and it offers sharp emission lines for good velocity resolution. These properties are shared by atomic, molecular, and ionized gas
