  • Project
    Morphology and dynamics of the Milky Way
    This project consists of two parts, each differentiated but both complementary: morphology and dynamics. Detailed study of the morphology of the Milky Way...
  • Project
    Nuclear Activity in Galaxies: a 3D Perspective from the Nucleus to the Outskirts
    The group has two main research lines. First, the study of quasar-driven outflows in luminous and nearby obscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) and the impact...
  • Project
    Nucleosynthesis and molecular processes in the late stages of Stellar Evolution
    Low- to intermediate-mass (M < 8 solar masses, Ms) stars represent the majority of stars in the Cosmos. They finish their lives on the Asymptotic Giant Branch...
  • Project
    Numerical Astrophysics: Galaxy Formation and Evolution
    How galaxies formed and evolved through cosmic time is one of the key questions of modern astronomy and astrophysics. Cosmological time- and length-scales are...
  • Project
    Numerical Simulation of Astrophysical Processes
    Numerical simulation through complex computer codes has been a fundamental tool in physics and technology research for decades. The rapid growth of computing...
  • Project
    Observational Tests of the Processes of Nucleosynthesis in the Universe
    Several spectroscopic analyses of stars with planets have recently been carried out. One of the most remarkable results is that planet-harbouring stars are on...
