Description
We are using integral field spectroscopy (IFS) data together with archival Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images, for carrying out a program aimed at studying a representative sample of local luminous and ultraluminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs and ULIRGs; 11 ≤ log(LIR/L&sun;)≤13). Our goals are to characterize the stellar and ionized gas structure, the two dimensional extinction and star formation, the kinematical properties and the dynamical mass tracers. Here we will review some of the most interesting results obtained from our sample, including detailed studies for some individual galaxies. The implications for deriving the star formation rate (SFR) and mass when studying high-redshift galaxies will be briefly discussed too.

    MAAT: an IFU for GTC optimized using spectrograph wavefront measurements and superoptimization
    The Mirror-slicer Array for Astronomical Transients (MAAT) is an IFU now being manufactured for the OSIRIS spectrograph on the 10.4-m GRANTECAN (GTC) telescope at La Palma. It is based on the Advanced Image Slicer (AIS) concept as are MUSE and KMOS on the VLT (among many others). Very significant changes to the design had to be made due in part to

    JWST observations of Chiron: A unique active Centaur beyond 18 AU
    Chiron is the second-largest Centaur, with an effective diameter of 210 km, and is among the most well-studied minor bodies in the middle and outer Solar System. Notably, Chiron belongs to the enigmatic subpopulation of active Centaurs and has displayed cometary activity several times since its discovery. In March 2021, Chiron underwent an outburst

    FRIDA: diffraction-limited imaging and integral-field spectroscopy for the GTC
    FRIDA is a diffraction-limited imager and integral-field spectrograph for the adaptive-optics focus of the Gran Telescopio Canarias. In imaging mode FRIDA provides scales of 10, 20 and 40 mas/pixel and in IFS mode spectral resolutions of about 1200, 4000 and 30,000. Coronographic masks are available in both modes for highcontrast images. FRIDA is
