Description
We present the full Star Formation History as a function of radius of the Fornax dSph galaxy. We also present the preliminary results of the spatial distribution of the stellar populations. We found significant differences in the populations as a function of the galactocentric radius, which may be the result from interactions between Fornax and other systems. The implications of the obtained results on the dwarf spheroidal galaxies evolution are also discussed. This study is based on FORS1@VLT photometry as deep as I ˜24.5 and the IAC-star, IAC-pop and MinnIAC codes.

    Local seeing analysis for the European Solar Telescope
    The European Solar Telescope (EST) will be built at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, a site known for its excellent atmospheric seeing conditions. The fundamental design of EST lies on two premises to improve the local seeing: placing the primary mirror as far as possible from the ground layer and using an open-air configuration. In

    First on-sky tests of LQG control for a 10m-class telescope: prelude on the Gran Telescopio Canarias adaptive optics system
    The Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) is being equipped with an Adaptive Optics (AO) system, developed by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). The Institut d'Optique Graduate School-Laboratoire Charles Fabry (IOGS-LCF), through a collaboration with the IAC, integrated some high performance control solutions. In this proceeding, we present
