Segunda charla que ofrecemos a todo el personal del IAC para su posterior uso en charlas de divulgación. En este caso se trata de una charla para público adulto...
Laser Guide Stars for Adaptive Optics at ESO: facilities and experiments
After a brief review of Laser Guide Star adaptive optics, we will see together the experience and status of the current ESO LGSfacilities, already in use or...
Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope is in the process of deploying a world-wide network of 1m and 40cm telescopes to facilitate studies in time-domain...
Let there be light -- faint galaxies and their pathways of formation
Only once in a generation is there the opportunity to reveal the basic properties of a new galaxy type for the first time. With the advent of more sensitive...
LGS-AO systems R&D: status and outlook of the ESO-led activities
In collaboration with member states institutes, the use of the synergies with ESO is producing first important results in the R&D for Laser Guide Star adaptive...
Limits on the Mass and Abundance of Primordial Massive Black Holes
The lack of detection of elementary particles that could explain dark matter and the recent detection of gravitational waves by the LIGO experiment have renewed...
I will summarize the two well proved techniques for high spatial resolution: Lucky Imaging and Adaptive Optics and the work of our group in this field. I will...
Living on the Edge: Superthin Galaxies and the Cosmic UV Background
Superthin galaxies are bulgeless, late-type spiral galaxies seen edge-on. HI synthesis observations probe the kinematic structure of their interstellar medium...
Localized starbursts in dwarf galaxies produced by impact of low metallicity cosmic gas clouds
Models of galaxy formation predict that gas accretion from the cosmic web is a primary driver of star formation over cosmic history. Except in very dense...
