The European Solar Telescope (EST) aims to become the most ambitious ground-based solar telescope in Europe. This paper summaries the planned architecture, software practices adopted at the moment for the development environment and future lines. EST has adopted a mix of proven software from existing telescopes that are suited to the telescope

Due to the complexity of scientific instruments, such as spectropolarimeters, managing instrument sequences can be challenging. To address this problem, a Finite-State Machine (FSM) approach has been used to manage solar observation sequences in the GREGOR Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS). FSMs provide a structured and visual representation of control

The ESO/ELT ANDES (ArmazoNes high Dispersion Echelle Spectrograph) project successfully completed the system architecture review and is currently finalizing its preliminary design phase. ANDES is the high-resolution spectrograph for the ELT (ESO Extremely Large Telescope) capable of reaching a resolution of R ~ 100,000 simultaneously, in a

GroundBIRD is a ground-based cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiment for observing the polarization pattern imprinted on large angular scales (ℓ > 6 ) from the Teide Observatory in Tenerife, Spain. Our primary scientific objective is a precise measurement of the optical depth τ (σ(τ ) ∼ 0.01) to the reionization epoch of the Universe to cross

We present our numerical simulation approach for the End-to-End (E2E) model applied to various astronomical spectrographs, such as SOXS (ESO-NTT), CUBES (ESO-VLT), and ANDES (ESO-ELT), covering multiple wavelength regions. The E2E model aim at simulating the expected astronomical observations starting from the radiation of the scientific sources

The axion is a long-postulated boson that can simultaneously solve two crucial problems of Modern Physics: the unexpected charge and parity symmetry observed in the strong nuclear force and the enigma of dark matter. The Dark-photons and Axion- Like particles Interferometer (DALI) is a proposal for a new generation axion detector designed to probe
