Description
CanariCam is the Day One mid-infrared imager for the Spanish 10 m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC). With its multimode options that allow spectroscopy, polarimetry, and coronography, it will be the most advanced and versatile mid-infrared instrument available to astronomers. As such, CanariCam will offer the Spanish scientific community a range of options that have never previously existed. CanariCam will offer capabilities that are generally superior to those of ISO, particularly in spatial resolution, and will permit Spanish scientists to carry out new and exciting science projects in many fields. This paper describes some of the possibilities that Canaricam offers for original science.

    Evaluation of the thermo-elastic response of space telescopes using uncertainty assessment

    The aerospace sector is evolving due to reduced launch costs and standardization of small satellite platforms. This research, aligned with European Guidelines for Thermo-Elastic Verification, addresses the pointing precision gap in small satellites by assessing space telescope performance using uncertainty propagation in thermo-elastic models. The

    Modeling Close Binary Systems Within Planetary Nebulae

    We present here binary modeling for the close binary central star of the planetary nebula Hf 2-2. While binary models for 26 close binary star systems within a planetary nebula exist, this number is far too low to perform a significant statistical analysis. In order to work towards increasing this number, and thus improving the statistical results

    Probing the Structure of SDSS J1004+4112 through Microlensing Analysis of Spectroscopic Data

    We aim to uncover the structure of the continuum and broad emission line (BEL) emitting regions in the gravitationally lensed quasar SDSS J1004+4112 through unique microlensing signatures. Analyzing 20 spectroscopic observations from 2003 to 2018, we study the striking deformations of various BEL profiles and determine the sizes of their respective
