报告题目：From Cosmic Origins to Habitable Worlds: Precision Astronomy at the Frontier of Discovery

报告人：Prof. Rafael Rebolo（Spanish National Research Council (CSIC)）

报告摘要：Over the past decades, observational astrophysics has reached unprecedented precision, enabling studies of the Universe from its earliest phases to high-energy phenomena and the formation of planetary systems. In this talk, I will outline key frontiers across these domains, highlighting how instrumentation is driving progress. This includes constraints on early-Universe physics from the cosmic microwave background, the study of particle acceleration and relativistic outflows in high-energy sources, and the search for Earth-like planets around nearby stars. These challenges share common technological requirements: extreme sensitivity, long-term stability, accurate calibration, and advanced system integration. I will discuss how these demands shape current approaches, from large-scale surveys and high-energy observatories to ultra-stable spectroscopy and high-contrast imaging. Finally, I will present developments at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), including the Small-ELF project—a near-infrared adaptive optics nulling interferometer exploring lightweight mirrors, advanced optomechanics, and AI-driven control. These efforts aim to enable future facilities capable of directly detecting terrestrial planets from the ground.
