EMIR, the near-infrared camera and multi-object spectrograph for the GTC
F. Garzón, M. Balcells, J. Gallego +18
We present EMIR, a powerful near-infrared (NIR) camera and multi-object spectrograph (MOS) installed at the Nasmyth focus of the 10.4 m GTC. EMIR was commissioned in mid-2016 and i…
Restoring the night sky darkness at Observatorio del Teide: First application of the model Illumina version 2
Martin Aubé, Alexandre Simoneau, Casiana Munoz-Tunon +2
The propagation of artificial light into real environments is complex. To perform its numerical modelling with accuracy one must consider hyperspectral properties of the lighting d…
Flux calibrated emission line imaging of extended sources using GTC/OSIRIS Tunable Filters
Y. D. Mayya, D. Rosa Gonzalez, O. Vega +9
We investigate the utility of the Tunable Filters (TFs) for obtaining flux calibrated emission line maps of extended objects such as galactic nebulae and nearby galaxies, using the…
Wavelength calibration for OSIRIS/GTC* tunable filters
J. Mendez-Abreu, J. Sanchez Almeida, C. Munoz-Tunon +9
OSIRIS (Optical System for Imaging and low Resolution Integrated Spectroscopy) is the first light instrument of the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC). It provides a flexible and compe…
Atmosphere Extinction at the ORM on La Palma: A 20 yr Statistical Database Gathered at the Carlsberg Meridian Telescope
A. Garcia-Gil, C. Munoz-Tunon, A. M. Varela
The Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (ORM), in the Canary Islands (Spain), was one of the candidates to host the future European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) and is the…
The Infrared Astronomical Characteristics of Roque de los Muchachos Observatory: precipitable water vapor statistics
B. Garcia-Lorenzo, A. Eff-Darwich, J. Castro-Almazan +3
The atmospheric water vapor content above the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (ORM) obtained from Global Positioning Systems (GPS) is presented. GPS measurements have been evalu…
