The Solar Orbiter mission was selected by ESA for the M1 slot within the Cosmic Vision program with a launch date in 2018. This proposal corresponds to the period of 2017-2020 and includes the integration of the SO/PHI instrument in the platform, the launch, and the two first years of commissioning prior to the first scientific operation orbits

Our overall aim is understandig to role of the environment from the first sources to the clusters appearing at the epoch of peak star formation. That is, a multi-wavelength study of the early Universe. This implies the understanding of the galaxies that re-ionised the Universe, as well as the processes that resulted in the formation of galaxies

Ramón y Cajal contract to develop his research work in the specific research project "Higgs Boson Study in the LHC"

Macaronesia is a biogeographical region of five archipelagos in the Atlantic Ocean of which four are inhabited: Azores (Portugal), Canarias (Spain), Madeira (Portugal) and Cape Verde (Cape Verde). These islands share common geographical traits and cultural heritage, and have undergone a similar history since the beginning of the 15th century when

The analysis of emission line spectra of photoionized nebulae allows us to determine the chemical composition of the interstellar medium from the solar neighbourhood to the high-redshift star-forming galaxies. It stands as an essential tool for our knowledge of the nucleosynthesis and cosmic chemical evolution. The advent of the large aperture (10m

Massive stars are key agents in the chemical and dynamical evolution of the Universe. Not only for millions of years do they continously deliver radiative and mechanical energy to their surroundings together with newly formed elements. They also explode as different kinds of Supernovae when they reach their final moment, injecting comparable
