The magnetic field is the main driver of the spectacular activity of the solar atmosphere, which covers the photosphere, chromosphere, transition region, and corona. This is true also for many other stars, although it is in the Suns atmosphere where we can observe the consequences of the interaction between an astrophysical plasma and its magnetic

Black holes (BHs) are the pinnacle of extreme gravity. They are responsible for the most violent phenomena observed in the Universe, from long gamma-ray bursts, tidal disruption events to gravitational waves (GW). Despite the recent growth in extragalactic BH discoveries by LIGO-VIRGO, our knowledge of the seed BH population is severely hindered by

The age of a star cannot be measured; it can only be inferred from comparing observational parameters with predictions from stellar models. Hereby, the incomplete assumptions, parameterized description of the internal stellar physics, and limited observables lead to deviations that translate into substantial uncertainties of the determined age of

The formation and evolution of massive galaxies is reasonably well understood in the context of the successful standard ΛCDM formalism. Such simulations of cosmic evolution, however, lead to serious challenges in the regime of the very faint galaxies, including the problems referred to as missing satellites, too big to fail, and planes of satellite

NanoFullerenes is an ambitious interdisciplinary project to understand the top-down formation process of fullerene molecular nanostructures in space, involving the destruction/processing of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (HAC) nanoparticles and similar natural materials like asphaltenes and kerogen. By understanding this, NanoFullerenes will allow

The purpose of these fellowship is to promote the incorporation of research staff, Spanish or foreigner, with an outstanding track record, in Spanish R&D centers, in order for them to acquire the skills and abilities that allow them to obtain a stable position in a research body of the Spanish System of Science, Technology and Innovation. The
