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.
Galaxies in the universe can be located in different environments, some of them are isolated or in low density regions and they are usually called field...
Galaxy formation and evolution is a fundamental Astrophysical problem. Its study requires “travelling back in time”, for which there are two complementary...
The principal objectives of this project are: 1) to study the structure and dynamics of the solar interior, 2) to extend this study to other stars, 3) to search...

Kinematic, Structural and Composition Studies of the Interstellar and Intergalactic Media
The basic objective of the broject is to investigate the evolution of galaxies by deepening our understanding of the interaction between the insterstellar...
Magnetism, Polarization and Radiative Transfer in Astrophysics
Magnetic fields pervade all astrophysical plasmas and govern most of the variability in the Universe at intermediate time scales. They are present in stars...
The general aim of the project is to research the structure, evolutionary history and formation of galaxies through the study of their resolved stellar...
This project studies the physical and compositional properties of the so-called minor bodies of the Solar System, that includes asteroids, icy objects, and...
