The Research Division engages in the elaboration and development of research projects in astrophysics and its related fields. To meet its objectives, the Division is organized with a managerial structure and services dedicated to facilitating and channeling the development of its research activities.
  • Project
    Activity Phenomena in Galaxies: a 3D Perspective from the Nucleus to the Outskirts

    This project has two lines of fundamental development. First, the application of 3D techniques, in particular of integral field spectroscopy, to the study of...

  • Project
    Anisotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background

    The general goal of this project is to determine and characterize the spatial and spectral variations in the temperature and polarisation of the Cosmic...

  • Project
    Archaeoastronomy

    The main objective of this project is to study the importance of astronomy as a fundamental part of human culture and civilization from Paleolithic to the...

  • Project
    ARES: High Spectral Resolution

    ARES (High Spectral Resolution) is a coordinated project which attempt to join and consolidate the efforts on instrument developments at high spectral...

  • Project
    Astroparticles Theory

    The goal of this project is to initiate a line of research in theoretical astroparticle physics that can exploit synergies with other areas and observations...

  • Project
    Binary Stars

    The study of binary stars is essential to stellar astrophysics. A large number of stars form and evolve within binary systems. Therefore, their study is...

  • Project
    Bipolar Nebulae

    This project has three major objectives: 1) To determine the physico-chemical characteristics of bipolar planetary nebulae and symbiotic nebulae, to help...

  • Project
    Chemical Abundances in Stars

    Stellar spectroscopy allows us to determine the properties and chemical compositions of stars. From this information for stars of different ages in the Milky...

  • Project
    Cosmology with Large Scale Structure Probes

    The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) contains the statistical information about the early seeds of the structure formation in our Universe. Its natural...
