The Sun is a magnetically active star with violent eruptions that can hit Earth´s magnetosphere and cause important perturbations in our technology-dependent society. The objective of the Whole Sun project is to tackle in a coherent way for the first time key questions in Solar Physics that involve as a whole the solar interior and atmosphere.

In the framework of the Subprograma Estatal de Formación and the Subprograma Estatal de Incorporación, of the Programa Estatal de Promoción del Talento y su Empleabilidad, within the framework of the Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación 2017-2020 (action Ramón y Cajal), call 2018, the researcher will develop his

This proposal focuses on the analysis of galaxy formation and evolution by use of spectroscopic data from the large datasets currently available. The project aims at developing cutting-edge techniques to extract information from galaxy spectra, with the aim of understanding the complex ("baryon") physics that transforms gas into stars, creating the

This subproject includes technological contributions and scientific preparations by IAC for the PLATO 2.0 mission. The technological contribution is of electronic engineering, with the development and delivery of the MEU-PSU, the power supplies units of PLATOs main electronic units. The requested project includes all tasks that remain pending in

PI2FA proposal’s overarching aim is to make a major breakthrough in our understanding of the magnetised solar chromosphere under a novel frame of a multi-fluid plasma theory. Future large-aperture solar telescopes, EST and DKIST, will have among their primary focus observations of chromospheric magnetic fields. The correct interpretation of solar
