Descripción
The GTC Adaptive Optics (GTCAO) system will provide diffraction-limited capabilities in the near infrared to the GTC telescope. At first, it will use a Natural Guide Star (NGS) as a reference source, and later it will be upgraded to a Sodium Laser Guide Star (LGS), which will significantly increase the sky coverage. The GTCAO system is expected to provide a strehl ratio of 0.65 in the K-band with a bright NGS and a minimum strehl ratio of 0.1 with the LGS using a tip-tilt star brighter than 18 mag. We will review the current status of the performance tests of the GTCAO system in the IAC laboratory, and present the development of the LGS system at the IAC, which is currently in the detailed design phase.

    Primitive asteroids in the Main Belt possess one of the most pristine inventories of materials in the Solar System. Main Belt primitive asteroids are particularly interesting due to clear evidence of phyllosilicates, i.e., silicates that have encountered liquid water and undergone chemical alteration. Since asteroids are thought to be likely

    NEOMIR: project statut of ESA's space-based infrared mission for NEO detection and early warning
    To warn about potential asteroid or comet impacts, we must first observe and discover these objects through dedicated NEO surveys. Most current and planned surveys are ground-based and use visible light, but they face limitations like weather dependency, limited sky visibility, difficulty detecting at low galactic latitudes, and inability to
