  • 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

  • The evolution of galaxy clusters from cosmic dawn to noon
    Our overall aim is to understand the role of environment in regulating galaxy growth from the first overdensities at z~6, cosmic dawn, to the galaxy clusters forming at the epoch of peak star formation, z~2, cosmic noon. To accomplish this goal, we have and will assemble a vast data set spanning a wide range of frequencies from the UV to the radio

  • Seismology and sTellar Rotation with TESS
    The last decade, the CoRoT and Kepler/K2 missions have showed the power of asteroseismology in order to determine the fundamental stellar parameters with a better precision than the classical methods. In 2018, NASA successfully launched the TESS (Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite) mission that will continue the search of exoplanets and allow us

  • Participation in the NISP instrument and preparation for the scientific exploitation of Euclid
    Esclarecer las propiedades de la materia y la energía oscura es uno de los problemas clave de la astrofísica actual. Este es el principal objetivo de la misión Euclid, considerada como el desafío más ambicioso de la astrofísica europea para los próximos años. Euclid realizará cartografiados tanto fotométricos como espectroscópicos que generarán los

  • Constructive Preparatory Phase of the European Solar Telescope (EST) - Creation of the Project Office
    PREP-EST is a project funded by the Canary Islands Government under a direct grant awarded on grounds of public interest. The objective of PREP-EST is the realization of the preliminary design of systems and subsystems of the telescope to a sufficient level that allows starting the detailed design stage and, in a next phase, the beginning of the
