  • Scientific exploitation of NIRPS and DESI: high resolution spectroscopy to study exoplanets and the most primitive stars of the Milky Way
    Spectroscopy enables key physical insight in the study of exoplanets, stars, galaxies, and the interstellar and intergalactic media. Detailed spectroscopic studies of both bright and faint objects call for high dispersion at large telescopes to increase the photon-collecting area. High-resolution, high-stability spectroscopy is key for the precise

  • Multiband studies of rapid variability in X-ray binaries
    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. Multi-wavelength variability data, combined with timing analysis techniques, provides information about the

  • WEAVE: Exploring the Cosmic Original Symphony, from Stars to galaxy clusters
    WEAVE-ECOS is an unoriented research project that integrates two senior researchers and their team in order to efficiently exploit the first science data from the new WEAVE spectrograph, which is in the commissioning phase at the William Herschel telescope (WHT), in La Palma (Canary Islands). This multidisciplinary project has been designed to

  • The internal structure of ionized nebulae and its effect on determining the chemical composition of the interstellar medium and the Universe
    The project focuses on the study of the effect of the internal structure of temperature and density in ionized nebulae on the determination of their chemical composition. The main objective is to carry out different independent verifications and analyze in depth the repercussions of our recent work published in Nature (Méndez-Delgado et al. 2023)

  • A pilot survey to unveil dormant black holes
    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

  • Key aspects of star formation in a cosmological context.
    ESTALLIDOS includes experts in observational astrophysics, numerical simulations, theoretical modeling, and instrumentation. Working together on "star formation" for more than 20 years, we have played a leading role in the development of the field (> 1000 papers, > 30 PhD Theses). Our strength lies in the complementarity among the different
