Description
We discuss methods and preliminary results in a search for variable stars in the Carina dSph galaxy. This galaxy presents a complex star formation history and hosts a unique sample of variable stars. We collected B,V time series data during different runs, from 1999 to 2004, with the MOSAICII camera available at 4m CTIO telescope. The methodology is based on correlations between a version of the Welch-Stetson variability index, the variability probability of the Lomb-Scargle periodogram, and general statistical parameters associated with the individual light curves.

    Local seeing analysis for the European Solar Telescope
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) will be built at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, a site known for its excellent atmospheric seeing conditions. The fundamental design of EST lies on two premises to improve the local seeing: placing the primary mirror as far as possible from the ground layer and using an open-air configuration. In

    First on-sky tests of LQG control for a 10m-class telescope: prelude on the Gran Telescopio Canarias adaptive optics system
    The Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) is being equipped with an Adaptive Optics (AO) system, developed by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). The Institut d'Optique Graduate School-Laboratoire Charles Fabry (IOGS-LCF), through a collaboration with the IAC, integrated some high performance control solutions. In this proceeding, we present
