  • Lightweight metal mirrors manufactured by AM applied to astronomical instrumentation: first steps towards all-in-one opto-mechanical components
    Additive Manufacture (AM) comprises a group of technologies that allow to go from a 3D model to manufactured components, creating them layer by layer until the part is complete [1]. Among the advantages of AM, the ones that apply most to astronomical instrumentation are part complexity and consolidation, the addition of functionalities, design

  • LIGHTS. Survey Overview and a Search for Low Surface Brightness Satellite Galaxies
    We present an overview of the LBT Imaging of Galactic Halos and Tidal Structures survey, which currently includes 25 nearby galaxies that are on average ∼1 mag fainter than the Milky Way, and a catalog of 54 low central surface brightness (24 < μ 0,g /mag arcsec ‑2 < 28) satellite galaxy candidates, most of which were previously uncatalogued. The

  • Light-curve Recovery with Rubin-LSST. II. Unveiling the Darkness of the Galactic Bulge (VESTALE) with RR Lyrae
    This work is part of VESTALE, a project initiated within the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Cadence Strategy Optimization Process. Its goal is to explore the potential of Rubin-LSST observations aimed at the Galactic bulge (henceforth just "Bulge") for studying RR Lyrae (RRL) stars. Observation and analysis of RRL stars in the Bulge are

  • LeMMINGs. Multiwavelength constraints on the co-existence of nuclear star clusters and AGN in nucleated galaxies
    The relation between nuclear star clusters (NSCs) and the growth of the central supermassive black holes (SMBHs), as well as their connection to the properties of the host galaxies, is crucial for understanding the evolution of galaxies. Recent observations have revealed that about 10 per cent of nucleated galaxies host hybrid nuclei, consisting of

  • Latest optical and mechanical upgrades in the GREGOR Infrared Spectrograph for simultaneous spectral observations
    The GREGOR Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) can perform spectropolarimetric observations in the infrared. The spectrograph has a Czerny-Turner design and offered traditional long-slit observations since 2014. Later on, in 2018, it was upgraded with an Integral Field Unit (IFU) based on a slicer mirror, which has slicers of 100-μm width. The latter

  • 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
