The objective of the Juan de la Cierva-training grants is to promote the hiring of work by research organizations or centros i+D españoles other than those in which they carried out their pre-doctoral training. The aids whose annual amount is 26,300 euros, are used to co-finance the salary and the business contribution of Social Security of the

This coordinated project focuses on the scientific preparations for the European Space Agency's PLATO mission, which aims to advance our knowledge of extrasolar planetary systems and their host stars by analysing planetary transits and by asteroseismic studies, based on high-precision light curves obtained by the mission. The project is part of a

The aim of NanoSpace is to determine the abundance, formation mechanisms and astrochemical role of carbonaceous nanoparticles in space. Carbon is ubiquitous in space; from small carbon and hydrocarbon molecules to fullerenes and large but currently unidentified polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, carbonaceous dust particles and ultimately life. The

The Local Group (LG) offers us a chance to test the present scenario of galaxy formation in ways that are impossible elsewhere. It contains about 50 know galaxies, most of which are dwarfs so faint that they would not be detected beyond the LG. Hence, ourunderstanding of low-mass galaxy formation physics, strongly tied to models of galaxy feedback
