  • Near Earth Object Modelling and Payloads for Protection
    Multiple communities are now interested in NEOs for very different reasons ranging from science to planetary defence and commercial objectives (e.g., mining). Given the shared scientific and technological basis, all of these communities require knowledge and modelling capabilities of asteroid properties, as well as the capability to perform close

  • Participation of IAC in the AMS experiment
    The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a general purpose high energy particle detector that was deployed to the International Space Station (ISS) on May 19, 2011 to conduct a unique long duration mission of fundamental physics research from outer space. Among the physics objectives of AMS are a search for Dark Matter and Antimatter, the study of

  • Integral field spectroscopy of Local HII regions. Templates for the study of extragalactic HII regions
    The connection between the small-scale structure of the HII regions and their integrated spectrum is largely unknown and the main source of uncertainty in the determination of chemical abundances. We propose a project that attempts to alleviate this situation by obtaining and studying, for the first time, integral field spectra of an extensive

  • Stellar populations models with  varying abundance element ratios to constrain galaxy formation timescales
    The formation and evolution of galaxies is considered one of the hottest topics in Modern Astronomy. Studies on their stellar content have provided severe restrictions on their formation processes. A key result is that galaxies show abundances element ratios that differ from those found in the solar neighborhood. The abundance patterns are

  • Development of the FRIDA control software during the Integration and Testing phases
    The FRIDA instrument is an integral field spectrograph and camera, both designedto work in high spatial resolution, at the diffraction limit of GTC (Gran Telescopio Canarias), in the range of 1 - 2.5 microns. FRIDA is a general purpose instrument for the entire GTC community, its construction approved by the Scientific Advisory Committee of GTC in

  • Scientific analysis of ultra-deep astronomical images
    One of the projects with the greatest impact currently being developed by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias is the state-of-the-art analysis of optical astronomical images and, in particular, the study of objects with ultra-faint surface brightness. We have already made a number of scientific discoveries that have been made possible, not
