Description
Primitive bodies (comets, Centaurs, trans-Neptunian objects, etc.) are the best-preserved remnants of the Solar Nebula. Their composition and structure harbor clues to the origin of solar and exosolar planets and the evolution of protoplanetary disks. The capabilities of the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) and its instrumentation provide us a unique opportunity to accomplish an integrated study of the physical properties of these remote small bodies.

    HARMONI at ELT: HIPOTEC electronics and control system
    HARMONI is the first light visible and near-IR integral field spectrograph for the ELT. It covers a large spectral range from 470nm to 2450nm with resolving powers from 3300 to 18000 and spatial sampling from 60 mas to 4 mas. It can operate in two Adaptive Optics modes - SCAO (including a High Contrast capability) and LTAO - or with NOAO. The

    GTCAO low-frequency tip-tilt offload to M2
    GTCAO is the instrument that implements Adaptive Optics on GTC. For atmospheric turbulence correction, GTCAO uses a deformable mirror. Unlike other AO systems, GTCAO does not include a dedicated mirror for low-frequency tip-tilt (TT) correction. In the absence of dedicated correction, the TT components of atmospheric turbulence are corrected by the
