Líneas de instrumentación: Instrumentación infrarroja

Instrumentación infrarroja

La instrumentación para detectar y analizar la luz en el rango infrarrojo del espectro es uno de los campos de conocimiento del Área de Instrumentación. El diseño y construcción de cámaras y espectrógrafos infrarrojos requiere de tecnologías del alto vacío y criogenia, que abarcan las especialidades de la ingeniería mecánica, óptica y electrónica, principalmente. La integración y funcionamiento de mecanismos y dispositivos en criogenia es especialmente compleja y exige unos conocimientos y equipamiento altamente especializados. El Área de Instrumentación tiene una larga historia de participación internacional en este tipo de instrumentación.

    Schwarzschild modelling of barred s0 galaxy NGC 4371
    We apply the barred Schwarzschild method developed by Tahmasebzadeh et al. (2022) to a barred S0 galaxy, NGC 4371, observed by IFU instruments from the TIMER...

    Scrutinizing evidence for the triggering of active galactic nuclei in the outskirts of massive galaxy clusters at z ≈ 1
    Environmental effects are believed to play an important yet poorly understood role in triggering accretion events onto the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) of...

    Searching for molecular gas inflows and outflows in the nuclear regions of five Seyfert galaxies
    Active galactic nucleus (AGN) driven outflows are believed to play an important role in regulating the growth of galaxies, mostly via negative feedback. However...

    Smooth kinematic and metallicity gradients reveal that the Milky Way's nuclear star cluster and disc might be part of the same structure
    Context. The innermost regions of most galaxies are characterised by the presence of extremely dense nuclear star clusters. Nevertheless, these clusters are not...

    SOFIA/FORCAST resolves 30-40 μm extended dust emission in nearby active galactic nuclei
    We present arcsecond-scale observations of the active galactic nuclei (AGNs) of seven nearby Seyfert galaxies observed from the Stratospheric Observatory For...
