Microwave instrumentation

Since the 1980s the Instrumentation Division has been developing instrumentation and experiments in the microwave range with the main objective of characterizing the radiation of the Cosmic Microwave Background (FCM) and other processes of galactic and extra-galactic emission.

    280 one-opposition near-Earth asteroids recovered by the EURONEAR with the Isaac Newton Telescope
    Context. One-opposition near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) are growing in number, and they must be recovered to prevent loss and mismatch risk, and to improve their...

    A Ks-band-selected catalogue of objects in the ALHAMBRA survey
    The original ALHAMBRA catalogue contained over 400 000 galaxies selected using a synthetic F814W image, to the magnitude limit AB(F814W) ≈ 24.5. Given the...

    A morphological study of galaxies in ZwCl0024+1652, a galaxy cluster at redshift z ˜ 0.4
    The well-known cluster of galaxies ZwCl0024+1652 at z ˜ 0.4 lacks an in-depth morphological classification of its central region. While previous studies provide...
