  • 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

  • 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

  • PARSEC central de galaxias y tecnicas de alta resolucion espacial
    PARSEC is an unique project in the astronomy community committed to the dual effort of maximum angular resolution -parsec-, maximum spectral coverage, and time simultaneity, in the study of the centre of galaxies. The systematic use of these observation constraints has allowed PARSEC to full fill its main goal, i.e. to isolate the core emission of

  • 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
