The magnetic field is the main driver of the spectacular activity of the solar atmosphere, which covers the photosphere, chromosphere, transition region, and corona. This is true also for many other stars, although it is in the Suns atmosphere where we can observe the consequences of the interaction between an astrophysical plasma and its magnetic

The TANNHAUSER project is a public-private collaboration initiative in which the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) participates as a collaborating partner. Its main objective is to develop and integrate an advanced optical communications system into the Nasmyth platform of the Two-meter Twin Telescope (TTT), located at the Teide

Black holes (BHs) are the pinnacle of extreme gravity. They are responsible for the most violent phenomena observed in the Universe, from long gamma-ray bursts, tidal disruption events to gravitational waves (GW). Despite the recent growth in extragalactic BH discoveries by LIGO-VIRGO, our knowledge of the seed BH population is severely hindered by

The purpose of these fellowship is to promote the incorporation of research staff, Spanish or foreigner, with an outstanding track record, in Spanish R&D centers, in order for them to acquire the skills and abilities that allow them to obtain a stable position in a research body of the Spanish System of Science, Technology and Innovation. The

The INSIDE (Scientific-Technical Infrastructures and Institutional Services for the Strategic Development of the Canary Islands Observatories) Project – Phase 2 includes the following actions: 1. Advanced instrumentation for telescope facilities: Developments related to the WHT (William Herschel Telescope), HARPS3 (High Accuracy Radial Velocity

This proposal aims to complete the consolidation of the European Programs Section (SPE) within the Transfer and Institutional Actions Office (OTAI) of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and expand its international reach. Following the progress made in previous phases—with a notable increase in participation and return in Horizon Europe
