Space telescopes for exoplanet transit spectroscopy
The atmospheres of planets orbiting other stars may be studied by the technique of transit spectroscopy. This technique needs a very high SNR, so large space...
At sufficiently low frequencies, no ground-based radio array will be able to produce high resolution images while looking through the ionosphere. A space-based...
Space-qualified liquid-crystal variable retarders for wide-field-of-view coronagraphs
Liquid-crystal variable retarders (LCVRs) are an emergent technology for space-based polarimeters, following its success as polarization modulators in ground...
Astrophysics is a very recent development in Spain, but its spectacular evolution in itself constitutes a singular phenomenon that has aroused the interest of...
Spanish Monitoring of Comets: Making Sense of Amateur Photometric Data
Amateur astronomers have always represented an important observing group in cometary astronomy. Much of our knowledge of cometary light curves has come from...
Spanish participation in the development of HARMONI, the first light integral field spectrograph for the E-ELT.
HARMONI is the visible and near infrared integral field spectrograph (IFS) selected as a first-light instrument for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E...
