The aim of the Project is to equip the GRAN TELESCOPIO CANARIAS (GTC) Adaptive Optics system (GTCAO) with a Laser Guide Star (LGS) Facility (LGSF), to extend its sky coverage. The GTCAO system will compensate the atmospheric turbulence in the line of sight of the scientific field of view (FOV), allowing GTC to exploit its high spatial resolution

SOLARNET aimet at integrating all pertinent European research institutions, infrastructures, and data repositories in the field of high-resolution solar physics with the aim of: (i) realise transnational access to all European users; (ii) integrate small communities and foster European collaboration; (iii) enhance and spread data acquisition and

We have a unique opportunity to make a definitive step forward and conclusively reconstruct the life of a typical (super) Milky-Way galaxy, from its initial clumpy gas-rich phase to its (inevitable?) death through quenching. Astronomy is indeed entering the big data era. Big-data spectro-photometric surveys such as LSST, EUCLID, WFIRST, JWST will

The last decade has witnessed the beginning of the experimental program in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN that early on, in 2012, reached one of its major milestones with the discovery of the Higgs. This favors a simple mechanism for the electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) which, combined with the absence of other new particles, confirms

The Sun, our star, is not only the source of the electromagnetic radiation that bathes our planet; it also sweeps the Earth's magnetosphere with its wind and heliospheric magnetic field. It frequently sends huge ropes of magnetized plasma, the coronal mass ejections, that can hit us and cause solar storms, thus constituting a serious potential
