	Roque de los Muchachos Observatory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roque de los Muchachos Observatory is an astronomical observatory located in the municipality of Garafía on the island of La Palma.
		The observatory site is operated by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias which is based on nearby Tenerife, and it is part of European Northern Observatory.
		The observatory was initiated in Santa Cruz de La Palma by representatives from Spain, Sweden, Denmark and the United Kingdom.

		This was not necessary at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos since the observatory stands on land that has not been remobilised by geological or technological processes and there is no indication that this will happen in the future.
		This is the process we used in the tests for the GTC at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos.
		For the GTC the study needed to be first-rate and, despite the difficulties posed by the intemperate conditions at Roque de los Muchachos, we achieved this.

		Garafía is the municipal district of La Palma in which the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (ORM) is situated.
		Garafía, which has a population of 2,000 and covers a surface area of 104 kilometres rising from sea level to the island’s highest peak, became a municipal area in 1812 and was granted the status of Villa by King Alfonso XIII in 1906.
		The main traditional settlements are Caserío de Franceses, perched on the cliffs, El Tablado, between two ravines, and Las Tricias, next to the dragon-tree packed Izcagua gully.

		Se trata de un mapa del plano galáctico norte obtenido dentro del programa IPHAS (siglas en inglés de The INT Photometric H-alpha Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane).
		La pérdida de masa, explica Corradi, determina la evolución futura de cada estrella, su destino final y, al mismo tiempo, regula la diseminación en el Universo de los elementos químicos producidos por las estrellas.
		Según Pablo Rodríguez Gil, del IAC, este mapa sirve para estudiar las regiones de la Vía Láctea donde se forman nuevas estrellas y planetas, pero también para estudiar estrellas que están a punto de terminar su evolución, originando explosiones muy energéticas y espectaculares como las nebulosas planetarias y las supernovas.

		Desde el Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, en la cima de la isla canaria de La Palma, el grupo de investigadores usó una técnica novedosa que le ha permitido detectar por vez primera la luz reflejada de la estrella tau Böotis por un planeta que orbita a su alrededdor.
		Horne agrega que «este es uno de los mayores pasos que la gente ha estado esperando en el camino para saber si hay vida en los planetas en torno a otras estrellas».
		Hasta ahora, hemos pensado que la única posibilidad de mantener grandes cantidades de oxígeno en las atmósferas planetas es debido a la actividad biológica, debido a que el oxígeno es muy reactivo químicamente y forma moléculas con otros elementos en cuanto tiene oportunidad.

		Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma, Canary Islands,
		This spectacular site, on the northern rim of the Caldera de Taburiente at an altitude of about 2400 meters, has some of the best seeing I've ever measured.
		Astronomical development of the international observatory began in earnest with the decision to relocate the Isaac Newton Telescope from Herstmonceux in Sussex (which had interesting mechanical effects on the mounting, since that entailed a 25-degree latitude change).

		Optical images in the R and B bands were acquired with three telescopes, namely the 1.5-m OAN at the German-Spanish Observatorio de Calar Alto, the 1.0-m JKT at Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos and the 1.0-m OGS telescope at Observatorio de Izaña.
		The European Space Agency OGS is a 1-m telescope at the Observatorio del Teide.
		This suggests that still on 2.0 April the OT contributes to a large fraction of the optical flux, while the contribution of the host galaxy is negligible.

	A Playground For Gas Giants
		Researchers from the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (IAC), the California Institute of Technology and the Max Planck Institut für Astronomie, co-ordinated by Professor Rafael Rebolo (IAC/CSIC), have discovered in the Orion region three giant planets and another fifteen bodies, whose planet status could be confirmed once analyses are completed.
		The planets detected are reported to have masses between 5 and 15 times the mass of Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System.
		Images of these solitary planets have been obtained, in the visible range, with the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope, at the IAC’s Spanish Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos (La Palma), and in the infra-red, with the 3.5-m telescope at Calar Alto Observatory (Almeria, Spain).

		The ground-based image on the left was obtained with the 2.5 meter Nordic Optical Telescope at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos on the island of La Palma.
		At the time this exposure was taken the atmospheric conditions were such that the stellar images were blurred to an apparent diameter of 1.9 arcseconds - somewhat poorer than typically found at this excellent site.

		These observations were obtained with either the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope (WHT) or the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope (INT), both located at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma, Spain.
		A higher resolution spectrum taken on September 10, 1998 with the INT shows that the upper Paschen lines have weak emission components that fill in the photospheric absorption features, resulting in the featureless continuum seen at lower resolutions.
