Descripción
Studying the properties of the few compact massive galaxies that exist in the local Universe might provide a closer look to the nature of their high redshift (z ≥ 1.0) massive counterparts. By this means we have characterized their kinematics, structural properties, stellar populations and star formation histories with a set of new high quality spectroscopic and imaging data. These galaxies seem to be truly unique, as they do not follow the characteristic kinematical, density profiles and stellar population patterns of present-day massive ellipticals or spirals. Summarizing, local compact massive galaxies are rare, unique and the perfect laboratory to study their high redshift counterparts.

    HARMONI at ELT: HIPOTEC electronics and control system
    HARMONI is the first light visible and near-IR integral field spectrograph for the ELT. It covers a large spectral range from 470nm to 2450nm with resolving powers from 3300 to 18000 and spatial sampling from 60 mas to 4 mas. It can operate in two Adaptive Optics modes - SCAO (including a High Contrast capability) and LTAO - or with NOAO. The

    GTCAO low-frequency tip-tilt offload to M2
    GTCAO is the instrument that implements Adaptive Optics on GTC. For atmospheric turbulence correction, GTCAO uses a deformable mirror. Unlike other AO systems, GTCAO does not include a dedicated mirror for low-frequency tip-tilt (TT) correction. In the absence of dedicated correction, the TT components of atmospheric turbulence are corrected by the
