3 OBSERVATORIO DEL ROQUE DE LOS MUCHACHOS TELESCOPES JKT: re-inauguration + first remote observations with telescopes of SARA (Southeastern Association for Research in Astronomy) SARA-KP 0.91-m: CCD FoV Echelle Spectrograph SARA-CT: 0.61-m: CCD FoV 12.6 SARA-RM (JKT) 1.0-m: CCD LST1 23-m: cornerstone ceremony AMOS-CI (All-sky Meteor Orbit System-Canary Islands) Univ. Comenius, Slovakia: installation

4 OBSERVATORIO DEL ROQUE DE LOS MUCHACHOS INSTRUMENTS GHaFaS on the WHT: a new and very improved version of the instrument New system to refrigerate the IPCS (photomultiplyer+ccd) New calibration system HORS and CIRCE: first light at GTC HORS CIRCE

5 TELESCOPES 24 h/day monitoring of QUIJOTE-I Installation of QUIJOTE-II OBSERVATORIO DEL TEIDE QUIJOTE GREGOR: normal operation after the commisioning THEMIS: AO system being installed with SOLARNET funds A transit of an exoplanet is broadcasted live for the first time from the TCS HW and SW of the TAT Network updated to observe interstellar medium First calls to observe with SONG

6 OBSERVATORIO DEL TEIDE NEW ROBOTIC FACILITIES INAUGURATED BY HM FELIPE VI AMOS-CI (All-sky Meteor Orbit System-Canary Islands, Univ. Comenius, Slovakia) MAGEC (Majorca canary survey of very fast moving sky objects, Observatorio de Mallorca-IAC, 2x45cm) MASTER (Mobile Astronomical System of the Telescope-Robots, Univer. Moscow, Russia, 2x40cm) QES (Qatar Exoplanet Survey, Qatar Foundation, 8x20cm)

7 OBSERVATORIO DEL TEIDE OTHERS Joint IAC80-ESO-OGS campaigns to use a laser guide star SST observations for the S3T program Astrometrization software for CAMELOT@IAC80, CAIN@TCS and CCD@OGS: Xparallax VIU

8 AGREEMENTS Signed the Agreement for the transfer of the ING facilities to the IAC Pending the Agreement for the Scientific Exploitation of the telescopes GREST Getting Ready for the EST approved CTA-N: selection of La Palma as North-site

9 AGREEMENTS ACIISI-IAC-GTC agreements: 1) focii and equipement for GTC; 2) adaptive optics for GTC: GTCAO and LGS groups created Φ_rec 410 Zernike Polynomials (flux regime) Φ_rec 410 Zernike Polyn (photon regime) Φ_rec 14 Zernike Polynomials (flux regime) Φ_rec 14 Zernike Polyn(photon regime) I_1 AOLI data (flux regime) I_2 AOLI data (flux regime) I_1 AOLI data (photon regime) I_2 AOLI data (phot regime) INEUSTAR-IAC agreement: IAC-Tech and development of the observatories
