27. CMB research at the IAC. Science and Technology Synergies for AtLAST

Jose Alberto Rubiño Martín (IAC)

05/06/2026, 11:30

Invited talk

I will present the current status, recent results, and future plans of the experiments carried out by the CMBLab at the Teide Observatory (Tenerife, Spain), with a particular focus on their scientific and technological relevance for AtLAST.

In particular, I will highlight how ongoing efforts in CMB observations, including instrumentation plans, development of advanced detector and readout...

19. Mock redshift surveys of the (sub-)mm-wavelength sky

Contributed talk

We present two mock redshift surveys of the dusty star-forming galaxy population based on N-body simulations that reproduce the observed surface density of galaxies at 0.5 to 2.0mm. The largest simulated area (100 sq. deg) allows us to identify gravitationally bound systems, trace their assembly histories, and quantify the redshift evolution of their galaxy content and size. We find a strong...

10. Surveying galaxy clusters in formation in the distant Universe with AtLAST

Dr Jose Manuel Perez Martinez (Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC))

Contributed talk

Galaxy clusters are the largest virialized structures in the Universe, yet their assembly at z>2 remains poorly understood. Their progenitors, protoclusters, span tens of Mpc hosting gas-rich, dust-obscured galaxies in diffuse, low-surface-brightness environments. (Sub-)millimeter observations uniquely trace the molecular gas and dust fueling rapid galaxy growth, but current facilities lack...
