Description

The High Optical Resolution  Spectrograph (HORuS) is a high-resolution spectrograph in operation at the 10-m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) based on components from UES. HORuS is a cross-dispersed echelle spectrograph to observe in the range 380-800 nm with a FWHM resolving power of about 25,000. 

HORuS is being actively used for research in the chemical composition of stars and planets.

    Development of acquisition systems based on FPGAs. Applications to QUIJOTE MFI2, TMS, and MKIDs. Participation study in the Litebird satellite
    The main objective of this proposal is to provide the instrumentation area of the IAC with the necessary experience to develop and program data acquisition systems, in the microwave range, based on FPGAs. As a reference, the case of the QUIJOTE project is used. With its first instrument (MFI), QUIJOTE is the only experiment in the field that covers
