El coste de los mayores telescopios actualmente en construcción es tal que la extrapolación de estos diseños a tamaños superiores a ~50 metros de diámetro...
Gravitational waves: a new window onto the Universe
Over the next decade or so, the gravitational-wave window onto the Universe will be opened in four frequency bands that span 22 orders of magnitude: The high...
Long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most dramatic examples of massive stellar deaths, usually associated with supernovae ( Woosley et al. 2006). They release...
GTC OSIRIS spectroscopy of a faint L subdwarf identified in UKIDSS
In this Breaking News seminar, I will describe our project dedicated to the search for ultracool low-metallicity dwarfs (or subdwarfs) in the large-scale...
I present the online and the offline data reduction system for OSIRIS, the optical multi-mode instrument for GranTeCan. The software is written in Python and...
Haciendo simple la gestión de documentos con la herramienta de gestión documental del EST.
La gestión de documentos es una tarea compleja que implica múltiples cuestiones, especialmente en proyectos como la definición y creación de un telescopio. Una...
HaGS: a survey of star forming galaxies in the local Universe
I will present results from a survey of the star formation properties of nearby galaxies, using H alpha narrow-band imaging. The first half of the talk will...
High contrast and high resolution optical imaging from the ground: results from FASTCAM at NOT and WHT
Developed since 2006 by the IAC and UPCT, FASTCAM is an optical camera which takes advantage of recently available low noise and fast read-out CCDs (with...
High-Resolution, Large-Grasp Spectrographs Yield New Insights into Exoplanets, Young Planetary Systems, and the ISM
Until relatively recently, high-resolution infrared spectrographs could examine only tiny portions of individual spectral windows in a single exposure. Silicon...
