This is a subproject that is part of a coordinated project of a clearly multidisciplinary nature. It focuses on an interdisciplinary subject by nature such as cultural astronomy, involving disciplines as diverse as astronomy, archaeology, anthropology or epigraphy, and even statistics, image processing, and remote sensing. The IAC has pioneered

The landscape of future European ground-based astronomical research infrastructures planned for launch in the 2030s is broad and diverse, ranging from low-frequency radio (SKAO) to optics (ELT, EST), cosmic rays (CTAO), and gravitational waves (Einstein Telescope). However, there are two notable omissions. The first is a sensitive, high-resolution

Since its foundation, one of the objectives of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has been the design and construction of astrophysical instrumentation. To meet the increasing technical demands of instruments for large telescopes, the IAC has made significant investments in infrastructure and tools, which currently enable it to carry

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

Enabling large optical systems capable of resolving and measuring faint sources not accessible with current remote sensing instruments and detectors is the scientific overarching aim of LIOM by creating and sustain an excellent ERA Chairs optics and photonics' technology group of experimental physicists and astronomers, engineers, and technicians
