Líneas de instrumentación: Instrumentación visible

Instrumentación visible

Desde sus orígenes, el Área de Instrumentación ha participado en la construcción de instrumentación para detectar y analizar luz en el rango visible del espectro. Cámaras, espectrógrafos, analizadores de polarización, sistemas alimentados por fibras ópticas, entre otros, han sido diseñados, construidos, integrados y verificados en nuestras instalaciones.

    Polarized Mid-infrared Synchrotron Emission in the Core of Cygnus A
    We present high-angular (~0.''4) resolution mid-infrared (MIR) polarimetric observations in the 8.7 μm and 11.6 μm filters of Cygnus A using CanariCam on the 10...

    Precision Determination of Corotation Radii in Galaxy Disks: Tremaine–Weinberg versus Font–Beckman for NGC 3433
    Density waves in galaxy disks have been proposed over the years, in a variety of specific models, to explain spiral arm structure and its relation to the mass...

    Quantifying Star Formation Activity in the Inner 1 kpc of Local MIR Bright QSOs
    We examine star formation activity in a distant (z 0.1) and flux-limited sample of quasars (QSOs). Midinfrared (MIR) spectral diagnostics at high spatial...

    Quantifying the AGN-driven outflows in ULIRGs (QUADROS) - I: VLT/Xshooter observations of nine nearby objects
    Although now routinely incorporated into hydrodynamic simulations of galaxy evolution, the true importance of the feedback effect of the outflows driven by...

    Quantifying the AGN-driven outflows in ULIRGs (QUADROS) - II. Evidencefor compact outflow regions from HST [O III] imaging observations
    The true importance of the warm, AGN-driven outflows for the evolution of galaxies remains uncertain. Measurements of the radial extents of the outflows are key...

    Quantifying the AGN-driven outflows in ULIRGs (QUADROS) IV: HST/STIS spectroscopy of the sub-kpc warm outflow in F14394+5332
    Considerable uncertainties remain about the nature of warm, AGN-driven outflows and their impact on the evolution of galaxies. This is because the outflows are...

    Quantifying the cool ISM in radio AGNs: evidence for late-time retriggering by galaxy mergers and interactions
    We use deep Herschel observations of the complete 2Jy sample of powerful radio active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the local Universe (0.05 < z < 0.7) to probe...

    Recovering Age-Metallicity Distributions from Integrated Spectra: Validation with MUSE Data of a Nearby Nuclear Star Cluster
    Current instruments and spectral analysis programs are now able to decompose the integrated spectrum of a stellar system into distributions of ages and...

    Relaciones nacionales e internacionales en el ámbito de las grandes instalaciones científicas con otras entidades públicas y privadas
    Una de las misiones del IAC es poner en valor el carácter internacional del centro, impulsando la mejora de las relaciones que ya están en marcha, así como...
