  • The Multiple Early Channels of EvolutioN of mAssive Stars
    Massive stars are those with more than ~8 solar masses, the limit above which stars may undergo a core collapse supernova (SN) explosion at the end of its life. They have played a critical role in how the Universe has evolved and to understand this role we need to know the physics ruling them and the evolutionary paths they follow. In the last

  • Numerical invetigation of the environment and evolution of galaxies
    Cosmological simulations of galaxy formation have increasingly become instrumental tools in advancing our understanding of structure formation in the Universe. Such simulations follow the nonlinear evolution of galaxies by modelling the essential physical processes involved in galaxy formation over a huge range of temporal and spatial scales

  • Hydrated minerals and organic compounds in primitive asteroids
    This project aims to continue our research on small bodies of the Solar System that started with two projects funded in previous calls: Science with OSIRIS-REx, led by J. Licandro(AYA201567772-R) and Primitive Asteroids Spectroscopic Study: Exploitation of data from Gaia and JWST led by J. de Léon (AYA2017-89090-P). The broad scientific objective

  • Getting Ready for the Adaptive Optics of EST
    The overall objective of this proposal is to support the continuation of the Multi Conjugated Adaptive Optics (MCAO) demonstrator for the European Solar Telescope (EST). EST will be the largest solar telescope in Europe. It will include a 4-meter diameter primary mirror and the most advanced technologies, providing astronomers with a unique tool to

  • Support to the IAC development of the pre-optics (IPO) and the Control Electronics (ICE) for HARMONI (IPOICE)
    This funding aims t o strengthen the IAC participation in the HARMONI instrument for the ELT by developing prototypes and functional models for the control electronic (ICE) and for mechanisms of the pre-optics (IPO) whilst improving the IAC capacities for testing IR instrumentation for large telescopes. The European Southern Observatory (ESO) is

  • Control hardware for handling and testing astronomical detector
    LISA (Laboratory of Imaging and Sensors for Astronomy) is an IAC infrastructure for the characterization, integration and realization of developments related to sensors and cameras for use in telescopes. LISA is conceived as a sub-service with its own entity within the common service that constitutes the Department of Electronics, in turn one of
