This specific equipment will allow to carry out tests in cryogenics and high vacuum conditions of large electro-opto-mechanical systems. The first instrument that will benefit from this infrastructure will be HARMONI, the optical spectrograph / IR developed by ESO as first light instrument for the future Extremely Large European Telescope (ELT)

This aid is intended to complement the financing of action previously selected for financing by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) to the project of a new correction system for the primary focus with field rotation for the William Herschel telescope.

We will support education with a lecture series given by experienced researched on astronomy science, observing and instrumentation topics for university students. Such lectures enhance the education of the next generation of astronomers and provide feedback for researchers from students. These topics will be covered by our more senior staff

The main goal of this project is to ensure the scientific exploitation of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments in which the IAC's cosmology group will be involved in the period 2018-2020: QUIJOTE, PLANCK and the new experiments to be installed at the Teide Observatory (TO) in this period (GroundBird, STRIP, KISS). The specific goals of

We propose a joint theoretical and observational project aimed to probe the link between binary central stars of planetary nebulae (PNe) and the chemical composition and kinematics of their gaseous envelopes. We will extend our pioneering work and continue with our surveys to find new central binary systems. This will eventually provide the still
