Líneas de instrumentación: Instrumentación infrarroja

Instrumentación infrarroja

La instrumentación para detectar y analizar la luz en el rango infrarrojo del espectro es uno de los campos de conocimiento del Área de Instrumentación. El diseño y construcción de cámaras y espectrógrafos infrarrojos requiere de tecnologías del alto vacío y criogenia, que abarcan las especialidades de la ingeniería mecánica, óptica y electrónica, principalmente. La integración y funcionamiento de mecanismos y dispositivos en criogenia es especialmente compleja y exige unos conocimientos y equipamiento altamente especializados. El Área de Instrumentación tiene una larga historia de participación internacional en este tipo de instrumentación.

    The Galaxy Activity, Torus, and Outflow Survey (GATOS). II. Torus and polar dust emission in nearby Seyfert galaxies
    We compare high angular resolution mid-infrared (mid-IR) and Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) far-infrared (far-IR) images of twelve nearby...

    The HADES RV programme with HARPS-N at TNG. XI. GJ 685 b: a warm super-Earth around an active M dwarf
    Context. Small rocky planets seem to be very abundant around low-mass M-type stars. Their actual planetary population is however not yet precisely understood...

    The host galaxy of the γ-ray-emitting narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy PKS 1502+036
    The detection of γ-ray emission from narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLSy1) has challenged the idea that large black hole (BH) masses (≥108 M⊙) are needed to...

    The infrared to X-ray correlation spectra of unobscured type 1 active galactic nuclei
    We use new X-ray data obtained with the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), near-infrared (NIR) fluxes and mid-infrared (MIR) spectra of a sample of...

    The largely unconstrained multiphase nature of outflows in AGN host galaxies
    Observations and simulations show that outflows in active galactic nuclei contain gas in different phases. To understand their true impact on galaxy evolution...

    The Mice at play in the CALIFA survey. A case study of a gas-rich major merger between first passage and coalescence
    We present optical integral field spectroscopy (IFS) observations of the Mice, a major merger between two massive (≳1011 M⊙) gas-rich spirals NGC 4676A and B...

    The miniJPAS survey: AGN and host galaxy coevolution of X-ray-selected sources
    Studies indicate strong evidence of a scaling relation in the local Universe between the supermassive black hole mass (M BH) and the stellar mass of their host...

    The MURALES survey. IV. Searching for nuclear outflows in 3C radio galaxies at z < 0.3 with MUSE observations
    We analyze VLT/MUSE observations of 37 radio galaxies from the Third Cambridge catalogue (3C) with redshift < 0.3 searching for nuclear outflows of ionized gas...
