Description
The study of the early Universe relies on our ability to check our models by analyzing the behaviour of astrophysical objects at conditions close to those of the first epochs. Low-metallicity nearby galaxies with young massive stars may be used as laboratories to study these objects that have been proposed as active agents of the reionization of the Universe and dominate the energy budget of galaxies.We present observations and analyses of individual OB stars in the sub-SMC metallicity galaxy Sextans A (which the lowest confirmed Fe abundance in the Local Group, kaufer et al. 2004 & Hosek et al. 2014), obtained with OSIRIS@GTC. This work extends the limits of this kind of studies to unprecedented low metallicities.

    Study of basaltic asteroids through their phase curves
    Introduction Classified as type-V, the basaltic asteroids of the Main Belt (MB), for the most part, are connected to Vesta's dynamic family. However, since the discovery of the V-type asteroid (1459) Magnya in the outer MB, several new asteroids have been found in different regions, including V-types from inner regions not belonging to the Vesta

    Conceptual design of the infrared integral field spectropolarimeter for the European Solar Telescope
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) will be Europe's most ambitious ground-based infrastructure in solar physics. It will have a primary mirror with a diameter of 4.2m, which will make it the largest in Europe, and of identical aperture as the largest solar telescope available worldwide, namely the Daniel K. Inouye Telescope (DKIST) installed at the

    Detector upgrade in EMIR@GTC: on-sky performances
    EMIR was shipped to the GTC on May 2016 and had its first light on June 2016. Since the beginning, the EMIR performances have been severely hampered by the many instabilities in the infrared detector, a 2048x2048 Hawaii2, built with the old original technology of the Teledyne Hawaii series. Despite of this, the instrument has proven to be powerful
