The Spanish participation as an Associate Member in the Millimeter Array (MMA) project - led by the U.S. National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) - has been recently proposed to the Spanish Science and Technology Bureau (OCYT). This request to the Spanish Government is based on two key factors: (1) The high scientific interest and support of the

During the last years, inversion techniques have become one of the most powerful tools to obtain, from spectropolarimetric data, the stratification of physical quantities (temperature, pressure, velocity fields, magnetic field, etc.) describing different structures in the solar atmosphere. The SIR code (Stokes Inversion based on Response functions)

We present data from the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) of a complete set of Seyfert galaxies (Seyfert 1 and Seyfert 2) in a wavelength range seldom explored so far. These data allow a detailed study of the far IR Spectral Energy Distribution of these sources.

We present, for the first time, three dimensional (3D) radiative transfer (RT) results with realistic atomic models (multilevel) and without using the local thermodinamical equilibrium approximation (non-LTE). We have developed a new code based on efficient iterative methods (Trujillo Bueno, and Fabiani Bendicho 1995; Fabiani Bendicho, Trujillo
