Laboratory acceptance and telescope integration readiness of the Gran Telescopio Canarias adaptive optics system
The Adaptive Optics system of the 10-m class Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTCAO) is completing the acceptance tests in the laboratory at the Instituto de...
Laboratory results of SCAO: getting ready for the EST MCAO
The European Solar Telescope (EST) is a 4.2-metre telescope that will be equipped with a multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) system to provide a high spatial...
Laboratory study of carbonaceous dust and molecules of astrochemical interest
In this paper are reviewed some research works dedicated to the study of carbonaceous dust and molecules of astrochemical interest. First of all it is discussed...
The physical nature of the currently observed dark energy in the universe is completely unclear, and many different theoretical models co-exist. Nevertheless...
We present preliminary results of an on going program to study Lyman Alpha Emitters, Lyman Break Galaxies, and Quasars at high redshift with the OSIRIS...
LAEs at High Redshift through Gravitational Lensing
In this work we discuss the detection of Ly-α emitters (LAEs) through the gravitational amplification effect due to the mass in the core of the cluster of...
