  • Near Earth Object Modelling and Payloads for Protection
    Multiple communities are now interested in NEOs for very different reasons ranging from science to planetary defence and commercial objectives (e.g., mining). Given the shared scientific and technological basis, all of these communities require knowledge and modelling capabilities of asteroid properties, as well as the capability to perform close

  • LT2/NRT New Robotic Telescope
    The NRT (New Robotic Telescope) is a project to design and build a 4-meter telescope within five years, which from the ORM will operate in a totally autonomous and robotic way. This form of operation will make it the largest robotic telescope in the world and, together with the exceptional conditions for astronomical observation of the ORM, in the

  • Black hole and massive galaxy evolution
    Our theoretical understanding of cosmology is, a priori, inconsistent with observations. In a Universe dominated by dark matter, the most massive galaxies are expected to form late and slowly, which is in contradiction with observations whose behavior is just the opposite. In a scenario where our theoretical conception of the Universe is in

  • Search, impact and fundamental properties of Ultra-compact X-ray binaries
    The vast majority of the known galactic population of stellar-mass black holes and a significant fraction of the neutron stars are found in X-ray binary systems. Among them, the population of ultra-compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) is of particular interest, as they harbour degenerate donor stars that feed the black-hole/neutron star with hydrogen

  • "Studying the physics of inflation through observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background from the Teide Observatory"
    The final goal of this project is to guarantee the scientific explotation of the data coming from the QUIJOTE and GroundBIRD experiments, both currently located at the Teide Observatory with the aim of performing highaccuracy observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarisation.The final goal of these observations is the detection of

  • Stellar populations models with  varying abundance element ratios to constrain galaxy formation timescales
    The formation and evolution of galaxies is considered one of the hottest topics in Modern Astronomy. Studies on their stellar content have provided severe restrictions on their formation processes. A key result is that galaxies show abundances element ratios that differ from those found in the solar neighborhood. The abundance patterns are
