  • 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

  • Key aspects of star formation in a cosmological context.
    ESTALLIDOS includes experts in observational astrophysics, numerical simulations, theoretical modeling, and instrumentation. Working together on "star formation" for more than 20 years, we have played a leading role in the development of the field (> 1000 papers, > 30 PhD Theses). Our strength lies in the complementarity among the different

  • Polarimetric inference of magnetic fields
    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

  • 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
