The goal is to investigate dark energy and the accelerated expansion of the Universe, as well as the clustering properties of dark matter from large-scale structure data. To this end, we want to apply novel analysis techniques, which combine data modeling, data simulation, and data analysis. The first step requires modeling and simulating the

The William Herschel Telescope (WHT) has been a key player in the take-off of Spanish astronomy in the last 25 years. With the access of the Spanish community to 8-10 m (VLT, GTC) telescopes, the WHT's role is specializing in offering what major telescopes can not: large field-of-view instrumentation. In response to calls from ASTRONET and other

Galaxy evolution is one of the hot topics in Astrophysics that have shown tangible progress in the last years. This has been mostly due to advent of large telescopes, both ground based and in space, with state-of-the-art instruments, equipped with high sensitive detectors. They have made possible acquiring the deepest surveys in different

SUNDIAL (SUrvey Network for Deep Imaging Analysis & Learning) is an ambitious interdisciplinary network of nine research groups in The Netherlands, Germany, Finland, France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Belgium and Italy. The aim of the network is to develop novel algorithms to study the very large databases coming from current-day telescopes to

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 (AGB) - just before they form planetary nebulae (PNe) - where they experience complex nucleosynthetic and molecular processes. AGB stars also experience strong mass loss, efficiently
