Descripción
Seismicity induces ground vertical and horizontal displacements that could affect the image quality obtained by telescopes in a similar fashion than atmospheric turbulence. In this work, we study the effect of local seismicity relative to atmospheric turbulence upon the image quality of astronomical observations at El Teide observatory, Canary Islands. Three different aspects of seismicity are studied, namely regional seismicity (that is compared with other astronomical sites), seismic noise and possible resonances between seismic noise and the structure of telescopes.

    Spectroscopy of human-made space objects: from low Earth orbit debris to satellite constellations and exotic outliers
    As the commercial space industry advances, the number of artificial objects orbiting the Earth rises exponentially. To categorize the reflectivity of bright Low Earth Orbit (LEO) objects, a number of spectroscopic observations of such objects was performed in collaboration with the Astronomical Institute of the University in Bern, Switzerland

    Prompt Searches for Very-high-energy γ-Ray Counterparts to IceCube Astrophysical Neutrino Alerts
    The search for sources of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos can be significantly advanced through a multimessenger approach, which seeks to detect the γ-rays that accompany neutrinos as they are produced at their sources. Multimessenger observations have so far provided the first evidence for a neutrino source, illustrated by the joint detection

    A Précis of the MOA-II Observations
    The Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) collaboration is an international research project that uses gravitational microlensing for the discovery of exoplanets. MOA was initiated in the late 1990s and primarily involves institutions from Japan and New Zealand. The collaboration's observation site is the Mount John Observatory in New
