One of the main questions in Astrophysics is whether there are other Earths in the Galaxy. Our project is observational and technically prepared to address this question and lead to a significant progress on our understanding of the physical properties of planets, brown dwarfs, and stars, their formation mechanisms and evolution. We will conduct

Build-up of galaxy clusters in formation through dust obscured star formation
The overall goal of the research project BURST is to understand 1) the built-up of galaxy clusters in the universe and 2) the importance of dust obscured star formation in such systems. To accomplish these goals, we have and will assemble a vast data set spanning a wide range of frequencies from the optical/near-infrared to the radio including

Tracking active galactic nuclei feedback from parsec to kiloparsec scales
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback is the effect that nuclear activity produces in the interstellar and circumgalactic medium (ISM and CGM) of galaxies. Different modes of AGN feedback, which can be broadly divided into radiative/quasar and kinetic/radio, are now considered key processes in the evolution of massive galaxies by regulating black

The whole sun project: untangling the complex physical mechanisms behind our eruptive star and its twins: "Whole sun"
The Sun is a magnetically active star with violent eruptions that can hit Earth´s magnetosphere and cause important perturbations in our technology-dependent society. The objective of the Whole Sun project is to tackle in a coherent way for the first time key questions in Solar Physics that involve as a whole the solar interior and atmosphere.

Implementation of actions to improve OCAN" - ACT2.- EUROPEAN SOLAR TELESCOPE (EST)
EST se construirá en el Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, y será el mayor telescopio solar europeo. Dispondrá de un espejo primario de 4 metros y de la más moderna tecnología, lo que proporcionará a los astrónomos una herramienta única para observar y entender el sol y cómo éste determina las condiciones meteorológicas del espacio. EST es
