  • Cryogenic technologies for large instruments
    The dimensions of the instruments in design for the next generation of large telescopes exceed the capacities of the cryogenic and vacuum infrastructures available at the IAC. Cryogenic instrumentation requires a large number of tests to verify its mechanisms and components, as well as of the whole instrument once assembled. These verification

  • Mineralogical characterization of asteroids and space exploration 2
    This project is a continuation of the CAMINA project (ProID2017010112). The science objective is the compositional characterization of asteroids, that we have been doing by means of three actions: (1) our participation in the two space missions that have visited and taken a sample of material from two near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), OSIRIS-REx (NASA)

  • SHARKS: In-depth study of the formation and evolution of distant galaxies
    SHARKS (Southern H-ATLAS Regions Ks-band Survey; IP: Helmut Dannerbauer) is a deep near-infrared survey of a 300-square-degree region of the sky being carried out with the VISTA telescope and its VIRCAM instrument at ESO (European Southern Observatory in Chile) in the Ks-band (at 2 micrometer). With SHARKS we expect to detect about 20-30 million

  • Solving the longstanding mistery of the blue massive supergiants
    Massive stars are key astronomical objects for the study of the Universe through spaceand time. Ensuring reliable knowledge about the physical properties, evolution, and feedback of massive stars is of utmost importance forseveral topics at the forefront of modern astrophysics, including, e.g., chemodynamical evolution of galaxies, the reionization

  • Accurate linelists for exoplanet and very cool stars studies
    We are in the golden age for exoplanets studies, with currently several thousands of exoworlds discovered. Because of their low brightness and their large number, M dwarfs (~70% of stars) represent privileged targets to look for exoplanets. By essence, those objects are also cool objects, emitting significant fraction of their light in the infrared

  • Search and charazzterization of amino acids in star-formins regions
    One of the unresolved issues in astrophysics and astrochemistry is to understand how prebiotic molecules assemble into complex structures and establish which ones are the necessary conditions for life to arise and evolve on Earth and in the exoplanets. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, constituents essential to all organisms and
