An Ion Beam Figuring machine allows a contactless polishing process. A small beam of positive ions (Argon) is projected against a substrate surface. Ions produce a chain collision with the atoms that allows material to be extracted in a controlled way. Before g to carry out the process, the surface must be measured with an interferometer, which

The objective of the Juan de la Cierva-formacion grants is to promote the hiring of people with a doctorate degree by research organizations in Spain for a period of two years in order to strengthen the skills acquired during a first stage of postdoctoral training in a different center from the one where they completed their PhD. The annual amount

This proposal seeks the scientific exploitation of the project on Dynamics of cool-core galaxy clusters, the mapping Cosmological Galaxy Clusters, and the galaxy cluster surveys of the EUCLID space mission in the coming years. The objectives of the project here presented are: 1) To investigate the nature of galaxy clusters with cool-cores, their

The objective of the Juan de la Cierva-training grants is to promote the hiring of work by research organizations or Spanish i+D centers 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

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

X-ray binaries (XRBs) are arguably the best sources for studying accretion and jets, because they traverse various accretion states with greatly differing jet strength, over timescales of the order of months, easily amenable to observation. However, despite the rapid increase in our phenomenological knowlege of jets, we still lack a fundamental
