  • Arquitectura para el despliegue de software de control remoto de instrumentos con autenticación, seguridad y protección del código: aplicación a TTNN
    La implementación de sistemas de control para instrumentación en el IAC plantea retos recurrentes relacionados con el acceso remoto, la protección del código, la exposición del funcionamiento interno, la gestión de usuarios y la dependencia de software en el lado cliente. En esta charla se presenta una arquitectura genérica, de fácil despliegue y

  • A UV-sensitive optical imager for the GTC - providing much-needed capabilities now and in the future
    Wide-field optical imaging is fundamental to nearly every area of astronomy and astrophysics at all wavelengths, particles, and gravitational waves and are the highest demand instruments on their respective telescopes. We have entered the era of billion-dollar 'mega-facilities', such as the James Webb, Roman, and Euclid Space Telescopes, the

  • What can near-ultraviolet spectroscopy tell us about the final moments of supernova progenitors?
    The fate of massive stars and the type of supernova (SN) they produce are closely linked to their final stages of evolution. During these late phases, stars may undergo episodic mass loss, forming circumstellar material (CSM) that can leave observable signatures in the SN spectra, particularly as resonance lines in the near-ultraviolet (NUV).

  • Dust in the Wake of Supernovae: Reverse Shocks, Starbursts, and Blue Monsters at z > 10
    Supernovae are usually cast as efficient dust destroyers. I will show that, when realistic environments are taken into account, they instead emerge as net dust enrichers. Combining 3-D hydrodynamic simulations with semi-analytic cooling and cloud-crushing calculations, I follow dust processing from ejecta and wind-blown bubbles to dense

  • The laser and quantum physics
    Exactly a hundred years ago, in January 1926, Schr ödinger established the famous equation bearing his name which mark ed the birth of quantum physics . Among all the inventions born of this physics, the laser occupies an important place, both for the rich history of discoveries that led to its birth, and for the role it plays today in fundamental
