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

The overall objective of this proposal is to support the continuation of the Multi Conjugated Adaptive Optics (MCAO) demonstrator for the European Solar Telescope (EST). EST will be the largest solar telescope in Europe. It will include a 4-meter diameter primary mirror and the most advanced technologies, providing astronomers with a unique tool to

This funding aims t o strengthen the IAC participation in the HARMONI instrument for the ELT by developing prototypes and functional models for the control electronic (ICE) and for mechanisms of the pre-optics (IPO) whilst improving the IAC capacities for testing IR instrumentation for large telescopes. The European Southern Observatory (ESO) is

This project aims to continue our research on small bodies of the Solar System that started with two projects funded in previous calls: Science with OSIRIS-REx, led by J. Licandro(AYA201567772-R) and Primitive Asteroids Spectroscopic Study: Exploitation of data from Gaia and JWST led by J. de Léon (AYA2017-89090-P). The broad scientific objective

Galaxy evolution is one of the hot topics in Astrophysics that have shown tangible progress in the last years. This has been mostly due to advent of large telescopes, both ground based and in space, with state-of-the-art instruments, equipped with high sensitive detectors. They have made possible acquiring the deepest surveys in different
