Descripción
We have made B, V, and I-band observations of satellite galaxies which lie around isolated disk galaxies, using the satellite sample of Zaritsky et al. (1997). We present 3D light profiles of the centers of these satellites, and discuss how we plan to use the profiles to study the survival or disruption of satellites in minor mergers, an issue that has several important implications.

    The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO)
    The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) is a project dedicated to identifying optical counterparts to gravitational-wave detections using a network of dedicated, wide-field telescopes. After almost a decade of design, construction, and commissioning work, the GOTO network is now fully operational with two antipodal sites: La Palma

    Innovative solution for upgrading commercial bearings for use in cryogenic instruments
    Infrared instruments for astronomy require many bearings for motion that must move in cryogenic conditions. There are poor and expensive options for this, and the companies with qualified bearings only supply after a long time. To attend these constrains, the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) started to develop a procedure to upgrade

    NIRPS first light and early science: breaking the 1 m/s RV precision barrier at infrared wavelengths
    The Near-InfraRed Planet Searcher or NIRPS is a precision radial velocity spectrograph developed through collaborative efforts among laboratories in Switzerland, Canada, Brazil, France, Portugal and Spain. NIRPS extends to the 0.98-1.8 μm domain of the pioneering HARPS instrument at the La Silla 3.6-m telescope in Chile and it has achieved
