The goal of this agreement focuses on the site design and other complementary studies, required to finalize the Cherenkov Telescope Array Northern Observatory in its final configuration. For this purpose, the set of Medium Size Telescopes (MST) must be enhanced from the original set of 5 corresponding to the threshold configuration, to a set of 9

The objective of this proposal is to apply for funding to complete the construction and implementation of a 3.5 m prototype, dubbed Small-ELF, at Teide Observatory by 2025 as a demonstrator for the future ExoLife Finder (ELF), whose the scientific objective is the detection of biomarkers in the atmospheres of extrasolar planets. The technological

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

Galaxy evolution is one of the hot topics in Astrophysics that have shown tangible progress in the last years. This has been mostly due to advent of large telescopes, both ground based and in space, with state-of-the-art instruments, equipped with high sensitive detectors. They have made possible acquiring the deepest surveys in different

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

Cosmological simulations of galaxy formation have increasingly become instrumental tools in advancing our understanding of structure formation in the Universe. Such simulations follow the nonlinear evolution of galaxies by modelling the essential physical processes involved in galaxy formation over a huge range of temporal and spatial scales
