Descripción
OSIRIS is the Spanish Day One instrument for the GTC 10.4-m telescope. OSIRIS is a general purpose instrument for imaging, low-resolution long slit and multi-object spectroscopy (MOS). OSIRIS has a field of view of 8.6×8.6 arcminutes, which makes it ideal for deep surveys, and operates in the optical wavelength range from 365 through 1000nm. The main characteristic that makes OSIRIS unique amongst other instruments in 8-10m class telescopes is the use of Tunable Filters (Bland-Hawthorn & Jones 1998). These allow a continuous selection of both the central wavelength and the width, thus providing scanning narrow band imaging within the OSIRIS wavelength range. The combination of the large GTC aperture, large OSIRIS field of view and availability of the TFs makes OTELO a truly unique emission line survey.

    The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO)
    The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) is a project dedicated to identifying optical counterparts to gravitational-wave detections using a network of dedicated, wide-field telescopes. After almost a decade of design, construction, and commissioning work, the GOTO network is now fully operational with two antipodal sites: La Palma

    Innovative solution for upgrading commercial bearings for use in cryogenic instruments
    Infrared instruments for astronomy require many bearings for motion that must move in cryogenic conditions. There are poor and expensive options for this, and the companies with qualified bearings only supply after a long time. To attend these constrains, the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) started to develop a procedure to upgrade

    NIRPS first light and early science: breaking the 1 m/s RV precision barrier at infrared wavelengths
    The Near-InfraRed Planet Searcher or NIRPS is a precision radial velocity spectrograph developed through collaborative efforts among laboratories in Switzerland, Canada, Brazil, France, Portugal and Spain. NIRPS extends to the 0.98-1.8 μm domain of the pioneering HARPS instrument at the La Silla 3.6-m telescope in Chile and it has achieved
