Accreting black-holes and neutron stars in X-ray binaries provide an ideal laboratory for exploring the physics of compact objects, yielding not only confirmation of the existence of stellar-mass black holes via dynamical mass measurements, but also the best opportunity for probing high-gravity environments and the physics of accretion; the most

The objective is to promote the consolidation of the professional careers of national and foreign researchers, so that they can develop their professional careers within SECTI. Promoting the consolidation of the professional career of research personnel, encouraging the creation of permanent positions in the affiliated institutions and facilitating

The purpose of the Juan de la Cierva grants is to encourage the incorporation of young people, in possession of a doctorate degree, in order for them to complete their postdoctoral research training in Spanish R&D centers. Participants must meet the requirement of having a doctorate degree and having obtained it between January 1, 2021 and December

The objective of this initiative is the construction of a W-band (80-110 GHz) receiver fitted with 3,000 kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) to be installed at the second telescope of QUIJOTE at the Teide Observatory. This instrument would allow to cover the only frequency band that can be observed from Earth and isnt currently already covered at

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

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
