Descripción
Mapping the low surface brightness (μ >28 mag arcsec^{-2}) structures of the galaxies opens the possibility of testing our current ΛCDM galaxy formation model. At these surface brightness values the accretion history of the galaxies should clearly reveal. We present here two undergoing projects conducted at the IAC whose aim is to explore the lowest surface brightness regions of nearby galaxies using ultra-deep imaging. The first one is the Stripe82 IAC Legacy Project, 270 square degrees based on the SDSS Stripe82 data reaching down to 28.5 mag arcsec^{-2}. The second is an overwhelmingly deep imaging of a nearby galaxy, UGC 00180, taken with the 10.4m GTC telescope and showing galaxy details down to 31.5 mag arcsec^{-2}.

    NEOMIR: ESA's space-based infrared mission for NEO detection and early warning
    The Near-Earth Object Mission in the Infra-Red (NEOMIR) is the first ESA's space-based mission fully dedicated to discovering near-Earth objects (NEOs), with a focus to detect and raise early warning for the smaller objects that are coming from the Sun direction, thus nearly impossible to be detected by ground-based optical survey. NEOMIR is

    Upgrading the polarisation modulation unit of the Gregor Infrared Spectrograph
    The Gregor Infrared Spectrograph (GRIS) is installed at the Gregor telescope at Observatorio del Teide, Spain. The instrument started observations in 2012 and underwent several upgrades in the following years. Currently, it is experiencing the most significant upgrade so far, which includes, among other things, adding two optical channels to

    Small-ELF Telescope opto-mechanical system: progress on design, manufacturing, and tensegrity prototyping
    Small-ELF (SELF) is a 3.5-meter telescope currently entering the manufacturing phase and will serve as a technology precursor for the much larger telescope named ELF (Exo-Life Finder). The primary objective of the proposed design approach is to to radically improve the system's capabilities for the detection of biomarkers and life in the
