  • Formation and evolution of planets and brown dwarfs
    One of the main questions in Astrophysics is whether there are other Earths in the Galaxy. Our project is observational and technically prepared to address this question and lead to a significant progress on our understanding of the physical properties of planets, brown dwarfs, and stars, their formation mechanisms and evolution. We will conduct

  • Build-up of galaxy clusters in formation through dust obscured star formation
    The overall goal of the research project BURST is to understand 1) the built-up of galaxy clusters in the universe and 2) the importance of dust obscured star formation in such systems. To accomplish these goals, we have and will assemble a vast data set spanning a wide range of frequencies from the optical/near-infrared to the radio including

  • Tracking active galactic nuclei feedback from parsec to kiloparsec scales
    Active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback is the effect that nuclear activity produces in the interstellar and circumgalactic medium (ISM and CGM) of galaxies. Different modes of AGN feedback, which can be broadly divided into radiative/quasar and kinetic/radio, are now considered key processes in the evolution of massive galaxies by regulating black

  • Control hardware for handling and testing astronomical detector
    LISA (Laboratory of Imaging and Sensors for Astronomy) is an IAC infrastructure for the characterization, integration and realization of developments related to sensors and cameras for use in telescopes. LISA is conceived as a sub-service with its own entity within the common service that constitutes the Department of Electronics, in turn one of

  • Bench for measuring optical surfaces with complex topology
    In recent years, the IAC has developed a project that provides the infrastructure, equipment and human resources necessary for the manufacture of mirrors up to 1.5 meters in diameter for scientific and, in particular, astronomical use. These capabilities allow addressing all stages of the production process of optical surfaces: generation

  • Development and fabrication of the NGI (Ninety-GigaHertz Instrument) for the Teide Observator
    The objective of this initiative is the construction of a W-band (80-110 GHz) receiver fitted with 3,000 kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) to be installed at the second telescope of QUIJOTE at the Teide Observatory. This instrument would allow to cover the only frequency band that can be observed from Earth and isnt currently already covered at
