Descripción
OSIRIS, the optical Day One instrument for the GTC, will shortly be shipped to La Palma to start the commissioning at the telescope. Some results of the final laboratory characterization of the instrument are shown, together with the upgrades that are planned to be operational after Day One. Several large programs using the OSIRIS Tunable Filters are presented as well, to demonstrate the scientific capabilities of this characteristic OSIRIS observing mode.

    The mysterious globular cluster population of NGC5846-UDG1 (MATLAS-2019)
    The number of globular clusters plays a fundamental role in understanding the early stages of galaxy formation. We know that the GC population of normal galaxies correlates with the amount of dark matter in these objects. Extending this analysis to the number of globulars in very low surface brightness galaxies is therefore key to understanding the

    MARVEL - an array of four telescopes feeding a stabilised spectrograph for high-precision radial velocities of stars
    Mercator Array for Radial VELocities (MARVEL) is an ensemble of four 80-cm off the shelf telescopes feeding a single stabilised high-resolution (R>90 000) echelle spectrograph. The facility is currently under construction and will be located on La Palma (Canary Islands), next to the Mercator telescope. The facility is designed such that the four
