Another successful ESO proposal! We managed to get about 1.5 nights for cycle P112, and in visitor mode! So, now that we are free to travel, we will have the PhD students Gonzalo Munoz-Sanchez (PI of the project) and Evangelia Christodoulou to travel to Paranal and observe from there. The …
For our observing needs we require the largest and the most modern facilities in both hemispheres (to obtain data for both our Southern and Northern galaxies in our sample). For this reason we have managed to achieve time at both GTC and ESO telescopes. For the period P111 of ESO …
We have a successful record of observing proposals with GTC to observe a number of Northern Galaxies for the ASSESS project. Although we got time in 2022A semester (~25 hours with OSIRIS) we did not manage to obtain the observations. The instrument was offered on a shared risk mode as …
A few days ago we were notified that our latest proposal to use EMIR, an IR spectrograph at 10.4m GTC, was accepted! We are going to use it to observe in the near-IR a number of Red Supergiants in the NGC 6822 and IC 10 galaxies, for which we have …
Around Christmas of 2021 Santa brought us two gifts, one just before the holidays and another … just after! We are definitely not disappointed! Two of our proposals have been granted observing time (while another one at ESO didn’t make it this time). We got 4.2 h with FORS2 multislit …
Double success! Our GTC proposal to observe with OSIRIS has been also accepted (42 hours)! Now we need to work hard on the preparations for both these and the ESO observations. But we are really happy that we managed to get these observations as they are critical for our project.
Success! We just got notified that our observing proposal for FORS at 8.2m VLT has passed with a high grade. Although we got just a bit less time than what we asked for (39 hours instead of 43) we will obtain many useful data. Let’s go plan these observations now!
