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.

    Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. IX. Velocity-Delay Maps for Broad Emission Lines in NGC 5548
    In this contribution, we achieve the primary goal of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) STORM campaign by recovering velocity-delay maps for the prominent broad...

    Spatially resolved chemodynamics of the starburst dwarf galaxy CGCG 007-025: evidence for recent accretion of metal-poor gas
    Nearby metal-poor starburst dwarf galaxies present a unique opportunity to probe the physics of high-density star formation with a detail and sensitivity...

    Spatially resolved evidence of the impact of quasar-driven outflows on recent star formation: the case of Mrk 34
    We present the results of our spatially resolved investigation into the interplay between the ages of the stellar populations and the kinematics of the warm...

    Spitzer Mid-IR Spectroscopy of Powerful 2Jy and 3CRR Radio Galaxies. II. AGN Power Indicators and Unification
    It remains uncertain which continuum and emission line diagnostics best indicate the bolometric powers of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), especially given the...

    Spotting the differences between active and non-active twin galaxies on kpc-scales: a pilot study
    We present a pilot study aimed to identify large-scale galaxy properties that could play a role in activating a quiescent nucleus. To do so, we compare the...

    Stellar activity analysis of Barnard's Star: very slow rotation and evidence for long-term activity cycle
    The search for Earth-like planets around late-type stars using ultrastable spectrographs requires a very precise characterization of the stellar activity and...

    Stellar kinematics across the Hubble sequence in the CALIFA survey: general properties and aperture corrections
    We present the stellar kinematic maps of a large sample of galaxies from the integral-field spectroscopic survey CALIFA. The sample comprises 300 galaxies...

    Stellar populations and physical properties of starbursts in the antennae galaxy from self-consistent modelling of MUSE spectra
    We have modelled the stellar and nebular continua and emission-line intensity ratios of massive stellar populations in the Antennae galaxy using high resolution...
