Description
The VIRGO Experiment (Variability of solar IRradiance and Gravity Oscillations) contains two types of active cavity radiometers for monitoring of the solar constant, two three-channel Sun photometers 335, 500, and 865 nm, and a low resolution imager (LOI) with 12 pixels. The main scientific objective is probing the solar interior by helioseismology with p- and g-mode solar oscillations determined from spectral irradiance (SPM) and radiance (LOI) variations on time scales of minutes to the mission time. The measurements of the variability of the solar constant and spectral irradiance over periods of days to the mission time will yield information about the convection zone, as will the comparison of the amplitudes and phases of the oscillations as manifested in irradiance and radiance (from VIRGO) and velocity (from GOLF and SOI).

    The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO)
    The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) is a project dedicated to identifying optical counterparts to gravitational-wave detections using a network of dedicated, wide-field telescopes. After almost a decade of design, construction, and commissioning work, the GOTO network is now fully operational with two antipodal sites: La Palma

    Innovative solution for upgrading commercial bearings for use in cryogenic instruments
    Infrared instruments for astronomy require many bearings for motion that must move in cryogenic conditions. There are poor and expensive options for this, and the companies with qualified bearings only supply after a long time. To attend these constrains, the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) started to develop a procedure to upgrade
