Descripción
Integral-field spectroscopy techniques are ideal to study objects of complex morphology and kinematics such as the circumnuclear region of AGN. We have obtained the stellar and ionized gas kinematics of four Seyfert galaxies by using integral field spectroscopy with optical fibers. For each galaxy, the kinematics of the stellar component can be well explained as rotation in a disk. The ionized gas is affected by radial motions along the radio axis path. In the cases of NGC 2992, NGC 4151, and NGC 4388 the deviation of the ionized gas kinematics relative to the stellar velocity field can be well explained purely by the presence of the active nucleus. For NGC 1068, a minor merger seems to be compatible withcomplex kinematics of the stellar and ionized gas components.

    NEOMIR: ESA's space-based infrared mission for NEO detection and early warning
    The Near-Earth Object Mission in the Infra-Red (NEOMIR) is the first ESA's space-based mission fully dedicated to discovering near-Earth objects (NEOs), with a focus to detect and raise early warning for the smaller objects that are coming from the Sun direction, thus nearly impossible to be detected by ground-based optical survey. NEOMIR is

    Upgrading the polarisation modulation unit of the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    The Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) is installed at the Gregor telescope at Observatorio del Teide, Spain. The instrument started observations in 2012 and underwent several upgrades in the following years. Currently, it is experiencing the most significant upgrade so far, which includes, among other things, adding two optical channels to

    Small-ELF Telescope opto-mechanical system: progress on design, manufacturing, and tensegrity prototyping
    Small-ELF (SELF) is a 3.5-meter telescope currently entering the manufacturing phase and will serve as a technology precursor for the much larger telescope named ELF (Exo-Life Finder). The primary objective of the proposed design approach is to to radically improve the system's capabilities for the detection of biomarkers and life in the
