  • Solar atmosphere dynamics: connectivity, energy transfer, and diagnostics
    The aim of this project is to carry out research on the complex dynamics of plasma and magnetic field structures in different layers of the solar atmosphere, with emphasis on their connectivity and energy balance. The project relies on the creation of theoretical models, advanced numerical simulations, the analysis of state-of-the-art observations

  • Space solar physics and space weather
    Five are the main objectives of this coordinated project, which are nevertheless synergistically related to one another. First, we must continue contributing to the operations and scientific exploitation of the Polarimetric and Helioseismic imager instrument on board the ESAs Solar Orbiter mission (SO/PHI). The mission will soon, in February 2025

  • Precision Astronomy with Small Satellites: Research on Pointing Correction Techniques
    This proposal aims to develop an innovative Pointing and Focus Correction System (PFCS) to address critical challenges in achieving high-precision observations with small satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The PFCS represents a transformative leap in space instrumentation, enabling high-precision pointing stability at the 2-arcsecond level and

  • Consolidating plans for the Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope ATLAST2
    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
