General
Description
GRIS is the spectrograph developed by IAC, installed in the German solar telescope GREGOR of the Teide Observatory. It is a fundamental instrument for solar spectropolarimetry research, in the largest solar telescope in Europe. The instrument is in continuous improvement, to expand its scientific capability and to demonstrate technologies for the EST.

    Laser Guide Star with OGS
    The aim of this project is to create a sodium Laser Guide Star (LGS) using the 1m telescope OGS and a sodium dye laser. LGSs are needed by the Adaptive Optics systems in all the large telescopes, to increase their sky coverage for high spatial resolution science.
