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

The goal of this agreement focuses on the site design and other complementary studies, required to finalize the Cherenkov Telescope Array Northern Observatory in its final configuration. For this purpose, the set of Medium Size Telescopes (MST) must be enhanced from the original set of 5 corresponding to the threshold configuration, to a set of 9

The objective of this proposal is to apply for funding to complete the construction and implementation of a 3.5 m prototype, dubbed Small-ELF, at Teide Observatory by 2025 as a demonstrator for the future ExoLife Finder (ELF), whose the scientific objective is the detection of biomarkers in the atmospheres of extrasolar planets. The technological

The objective is to promote the consolidation of the professional careers of national and foreign researchers, so that they can develop their professional careers within SECTI. Promoting the consolidation of the professional career of research personnel, encouraging the creation of permanent positions in the affiliated institutions and facilitating

The Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (www.iac.es) and its technology innovation and transfer space IACTEC (https://www.iac.es/en/science-and-technology/technology-transfer-iactec) handle vast data sets from a) spectroscopic surveys of the sky to study the structure and formation of the universe and the Milky Way, b) medical images for the early

Early detection of asteroids with Earth-impact orbits is a fundamental part of the Planetary Defense strategy. Technology has advanced to the point where it is possible to image the entire sky each night and process the data in real time. Various surveys have been operating since the 1980s in search of Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs). Right
