  • Space solar physics and space weather
    Five are the main objectives of this coordinated project, which are nevertheless synergistically related to one another. First, we must continue contributing to the operations and scientific exploitation of the Polarimetric and Helioseismic imager instrument on board the ESAs Solar Orbiter mission (SO/PHI). The mission will soon, in February 2025

  • Precision Astronomy with Small Satellites: Research on Pointing Correction Techniques
    This proposal aims to develop an innovative Pointing and Focus Correction System (PFCS) to address critical challenges in achieving high-precision observations with small satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The PFCS represents a transformative leap in space instrumentation, enabling high-precision pointing stability at the 2-arcsecond level and

  • Preparing the preliminary design review of EST MCAO
    The objective of this proposal is to validate the high-level design of the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) of the European Solar Telescope (EST) in order to prepare the corresponding Preliminary Design Review (PDR). With a 4.2 m primary mirror, EST will be the largest solar telescope in Europe and it will provide the scientific community

  • Science and technology for the Ariel mission: IAC contribution
    The exoplanet field has witnessed a revolution with the results of the Kepler and CoRoT space missions, which uncovered a large population of small planets, a few of which in the habitable zones of their stars. The more recent TESS mission is helping to make a census of planets with bright stellar hosts. Furthermore, a new generation of space

  • Participation of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias in the development of HARMONI: Rescope study
    The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), developed by the European Southern Observatory (ESO), will be the largest optical and infrared telescope ever built, with a 39-meter segmented mirror. This groundbreaking facility aims to transform our understanding of the Universe and offers significant opportunities for Spanish science and industry in advanced

  • Orientatio ad sideera VI: a cultural astronomy approach
    This is a subproject that is part of a coordinated project of a clearly multidisciplinary nature. It focuses on an interdisciplinary subject by nature such as cultural astronomy, involving disciplines as diverse as astronomy, archaeology, anthropology or epigraphy, and even statistics, image processing, and remote sensing. The IAC has pioneered
