  • Galaxies and Cosmic Structures: Multi-Scale Numerical Simulations
    Cosmological simulations have become indispensable tools for understanding structure formation in the Universe. By modeling the complex interplay of gravity, baryonic physics, and galaxy formation across vast scales, these simulations provide crucial insights into the evolution of galaxies and the largescale structure of the cosmos. This project

  • Orientatio ad sideera VI: a cultural astronomy approach
    This is a subproject that is part of a coordinated project of a clearly multidisciplinary nature. It focuses on an interdisciplinary subject by nature such as cultural astronomy, involving disciplines as diverse as astronomy, archaeology, anthropology or epigraphy, and even statistics, image processing, and remote sensing. The IAC has pioneered

  • Preparing the preliminary design review of EST MCAO
    The objective of this proposal is to validate the high-level design of the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) of the European Solar Telescope (EST) in order to prepare the corresponding Preliminary Design Review (PDR). With a 4.2 m primary mirror, EST will be the largest solar telescope in Europe and it will provide the scientific community

  • Consolidating plans for the Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope ATLAST2
    The landscape of future European ground-based astronomical research infrastructures planned for launch in the 2030s is broad and diverse, ranging from low-frequency radio (SKAO) to optics (ELT, EST), cosmic rays (CTAO), and gravitational waves (Einstein Telescope). However, there are two notable omissions. The first is a sensitive, high-resolution
