  • Detection and characterization of Earth-like planets in nearby stars
    Based on statistics provided by the Kepler space mission and searches performed with Doppler techniques, super-Earth and Earth-like exoplanets (Rp ~ 0.8-2 times the Earth radius) could exist in about 10-20% of the Sun-like stars and potentially in more than 50% of the stars smaller than the Sun. Despite this, we still do not know which stars in the

  • Black hole and massive galaxy evolution
    Our theoretical understanding of cosmology is, a priori, inconsistent with observations. In a Universe dominated by dark matter, the most massive galaxies are expected to form late and slowly, which is in contradiction with observations whose behavior is just the opposite. In a scenario where our theoretical conception of the Universe is in

  • "Studying the physics of inflation through observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background from the Teide Observatory"
    The final goal of this project is to guarantee the scientific explotation of the data coming from the QUIJOTE and GroundBIRD experiments, both currently located at the Teide Observatory with the aim of performing highaccuracy observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarisation.The final goal of these observations is the detection of

  • Search, impact and fundamental properties of Ultra-compact X-ray binaries
    The vast majority of the known galactic population of stellar-mass black holes and a significant fraction of the neutron stars are found in X-ray binary systems. Among them, the population of ultra-compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) is of particular interest, as they harbour degenerate donor stars that feed the black-hole/neutron star with hydrogen

  • Stellar populations models with  varying abundance element ratios to constrain galaxy formation timescales
    The formation and evolution of galaxies is considered one of the hottest topics in Modern Astronomy. Studies on their stellar content have provided severe restrictions on their formation processes. A key result is that galaxies show abundances element ratios that differ from those found in the solar neighborhood. The abundance patterns are

  • Development of the FRIDA control software during the Integration and Testing phases
    The FRIDA instrument is an integral field spectrograph and camera, both designedto work in high spatial resolution, at the diffraction limit of GTC (Gran Telescopio Canarias), in the range of 1 - 2.5 microns. FRIDA is a general purpose instrument for the entire GTC community, its construction approved by the Scientific Advisory Committee of GTC in
