  • Unravelling the dark universe from the Canary Island observatories - UNDARK
    Astrophysical and cosmological observations imply that only 5% of the energy of the Universe is made of conventional matter. The rest is composed by a new type of matter, the so-called dark matter, which has no (or extremely weak) interactions with the known particles, and a yet more puzzling repulsive form of energy accelerating the universe's

  • Excellence in galaxies - twinning the IAC (ExGal -Twin)
    With this Twinning With this Twinning action we aim to strengthen the research and networking capacity, profile and impact of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) in the area of galaxies through the development of strategic alliances of this regionally leading institute in an Outermost Region of the EU (OR), with three excellent European

  • 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

  • WEAVE: Exploring the Cosmic Original Symphony, from Stars to galaxy clusters
    WEAVE-ECOS is an unoriented research project that integrates two senior researchers and their team in order to efficiently exploit the first science data from the new WEAVE spectrograph, which is in the commissioning phase at the William Herschel telescope (WHT), in La Palma (Canary Islands). This multidisciplinary project has been designed to

  • The internal structure of ionized nebulae and its effect on determining the chemical composition of the interstellar medium and the Universe
    The project focuses on the study of the effect of the internal structure of temperature and density in ionized nebulae on the determination of their chemical composition. The main objective is to carry out different independent verifications and analyze in depth the repercussions of our recent work published in Nature (Méndez-Delgado et al. 2023)

  • Probing the Model Limitations of the Age Determination of Solar-like Oscillators from Space Photometry and Ground-based Spectroscopy
    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
