The objective of this proposal is the development of data analysis tools in preparation for the scientific exploitation of LSST, the largest mapping project of the southern sky that will begin observations in 2023. Specifically, the fundamental objective is the analysis of time series for the search and characterization of variable stars in

The Universe's re-ionisation is at the forefront of research. How the re-ionisation occurred is however still not known. This project intents to understand the mechanisms that produce the reionsation. Besides it deals with the most active sources that take part in the re-ionisation. In this project we will emphasised the study of LAEs with double

The project focuses on the analysis of the scaling-laws of star forming regions in the circumnuclear zone -central kpc- of a sample of six nearby galaxies selected with different star formation morphology (disk, ring or nuclear) and host galaxy type (Sa to EO). The project relies on an unique high-angular resolution dataset that resolves - in the

The project will explore the detection of anomalies in large surveys using deep neural networks.

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

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
