Descripción
Gravity is the key engine for the evolution of the universe and the formation of its main structures: galaxies, clusters of galaxies and filaments. Gravity is also an invaluable tool for exploring the universe through the relativistic effect of gravitational lensing. The gravitational potentials of clusters of galaxies turn these bodies into powerful cosmic telescopes which enhance the signal from high-redshift galaxies. In this paper we present a project to study such galaxies with the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) and the instrument OSIRIS. We describe the gravitational lens effect, stressing the strong regime case in clusters of galaxies. Then we show an application of the numerical codes to study the cluster MS2137.3-2353. Finally, we discuss the use of the Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT) to find candidates for lensed galaxies at very high redshift.

    The TESS TTV Follow-up Program: Revealing Volatile-Rich Terrestrial Planets Around M Stars
    Models predict that water-rich planets may be common around low-mass stars, but definitive evidence for the existence of water worlds has remained elusive. Recent JWST observations of sub-Neptune sized planets orbiting nearby M dwarfs found atmospheres enriched in CH4, CO2 and H2O, but the enrichment mechanism is debated. To answer this question

    The instrumentation plan of the 10.4m GTC telescope
    The 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) was designed to be a versatile telescope, able to serve a wide scientific community. To this aim, various focal stations have been equipped, including a Cassegrain, two Nasmyth foci, and four folded-Cassegrain stations. This allows an ambitious instrumentation plan to be developed. We present the latest

    Design and fabrication of fold mirror (M3) system for New Robotic Telescope
    The New Robotic Telescope (NRT) is an autonomous telescope that can operate multiple instruments at the Cassegrain focal station and the straight-through port. The optical beam is directed to the ports by a fold mirror subsystem in the focal station assembly. The fold mirror is elliptical in shape, manufactured by Instituto Nazionale di Astrofisica
