Lines of instrumentation: Visible instrumentation

Visible instrumentation

From its origins, the Instrumentation Division has participated in the construction of instrumentation to detect and analyze light in the visible range of the spectrum. Cameras, spectrographs, polarization analyzers, optical fibers fed systems, among others, have been designed, built, integrated and verified in our facilities.

    Evolution of the cosmological horizons in a universe with countably infinitely many state equations
    This paper is the second of two papers devoted to the study of the evolution of the cosmological horizons (particle and event horizons). Specifically, in this...

    Evolution of the fundamental plane of 0.2 < z < 1.2 early-type galaxies in the EGS
    Context. The fundamental plane links the structural properties of early-type galaxies such as its surface brightness and effective radius with its dynamics. The...

    Exploring the Mid-infrared SEDs of Six AGN Dusty Torus Models. I. Synthetic Spectra
    At distances from the active galaxy nucleus where the ambient temperature falls below ̃1500-1800 K, dust is able to survive. It is thus possible to have a large...

    Exploring the Mid-infrared SEDs of Six AGN Dusty Torus Models. II. The Data
    This is the second in a series of papers devoted to exploring a set of six dusty models of active galactic nuclei (AGN) with available spectral energy...

    Extended warm gas in the ULIRG Mrk273: Galactic outflows and tidal debris
    We present new HST/ACS medium- and narrow-band images and optical Isaac Newton Telescope long-slit spectra of the merging system Mrk273. The HST observations...

    Far-infrared-detected Lyman-break galaxies at z ~ 3. Dust attenuation and dust correction factors at high redshift
    Lyman-break galaxies (LBGs) represent one of the kinds of star-forming galaxies that are found in the high-redshift universe. The detection of LBGs in the far...

    Filter-induced Bias in Lyα Emitter Surveys: A Comparison between Standard and Tunable Filters. Gran Telescopio Canarias Preliminary Results
    Lyα emitter (LAE) surveys have successfully used the excess in a narrowband filter compared to a nearby broadband image to find candidates. However, the odd...
