  • Enabling precision cosmology with the cosmic microwave background: QUIJOTE and other microwave experiments at the Teide Observatory
    The main goal of this project is to support, during the period 2024-2027, the scientific exploitation of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments in which the IAC cosmology group is involved (QUIJOTE, TMS, GroundBIRD, LSPE-STRIP, ELFS-SA), to contribute to the design of the new generation of ground-based CMB instruments, and to prepare for

  • The LiteBIRD space mission: development of the thermal monitoring and control system and scientific preparation
    The main goal of this project is to guarantee and strengthen the technological and scientific contributions of the IAC to LiteBIRD, a JAXAled space mission, currently in phase A and with launch planned for 2032. The ultimate goal of this mission is to constrain to unprecedented sensitivity levels (tensor-to-scalar ratio of r = 0.001) the expected B

  • At the FOrefront of Galactic Archaeology: evolution of the luminous and dark matter components of the Milky Way and Local Group dwarf galaxies in the Gaia ERA. 
    In this coordinated project, we propose to investigate fundamental questions concerning the formation and evolution of galaxies, by adopting the Galactic Archaeology approach. As the Sun is treated as a special star for the incredible amount of detail with which it can be studied, in the same way the Milky Way (MW) and Local Group (LG) galaxies are

  • Scientific exploitation of NIRPS and DESI: high resolution spectroscopy to study exoplanets and the most primitive stars of the Milky Way
    Spectroscopy enables key physical insight in the study of exoplanets, stars, galaxies, and the interstellar and intergalactic media. Detailed spectroscopic studies of both bright and faint objects call for high dispersion at large telescopes to increase the photon-collecting area. High-resolution, high-stability spectroscopy is key for the precise

  • Multiband studies of rapid variability in X-ray binaries
    X-ray binaries (XRBs) are arguably the best sources for studying accretion and jets, because they traverse various accretion states with greatly differing jet strength, over timescales of the order of months, easily amenable to observation. Multi-wavelength variability data, combined with timing analysis techniques, provides information about the

  • A pilot survey to unveil dormant black holes
    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
