This project MATRYOSHKA (Mass Assembly TRaced bY glObular clusterS, tHe Key to gAlaxy evolution) aims to address three key questions in astrophysics: (i) how do galaxies grow in size and mass; (ii) what is the dark matter content of these galaxies; and (iii) whether the current cosmological paradigm is compatible with this picture. We propose to

Aid for predoctoral contracts for the training of doctors contemplated in the State Training Subprogram of the State Program to Develop, Attract and Retain Talent, within the framework of the State Plan for Scientific, Technical and Innovation Research 2021-2023, under a competitive competition and applying the principles of publicity and

The aim of this project is to carry out research on the complex dynamics of plasma and magnetic field structures in different layers of the solar atmosphere, with emphasis on their connectivity and energy balance. The project relies on the creation of theoretical models, advanced numerical simulations, the analysis of state-of-the-art observations

Five are the main objectives of this coordinated project, which are nevertheless synergistically related to one another. First, we must continue contributing to the operations and scientific exploitation of the Polarimetric and Helioseismic imager instrument on board the ESAs Solar Orbiter mission (SO/PHI). The mission will soon, in February 2025

This proposal aims to develop an innovative Pointing and Focus Correction System (PFCS) to address critical challenges in achieving high-precision observations with small satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The PFCS represents a transformative leap in space instrumentation, enabling high-precision pointing stability at the 2-arcsecond level and

The objective of this proposal is to validate the high-level design of the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) of the European Solar Telescope (EST) in order to prepare the corresponding Preliminary Design Review (PDR). With a 4.2 m primary mirror, EST will be the largest solar telescope in Europe and it will provide the scientific community
