NanoFull is an ambitious interdisciplinary project to: i) understand the process of formation process of fullerene- and graphene-based molecular nanostructures in circumstellar envelopes through the decomposition of "natural" nanoparticles with aromatic and aliphatic composition; ii) detect other forms of carbon in space. Surprisingly, detections

The objective of this initiative is to give continuity to the pending tasks in the construction and delivery of the MEU-PSU (Main Electronic Unit - Power Supply Unit) of the PLATO space mission. The main objective of PLATO is the identification and characterization of exoplanetary systems, focused on terrestrial-type planets in the habitable zone

The new paradigm of the space sector, with a drastic reduction in launch costs and the rise of small satellites, demands more than ever the introduction of innovative technologies, especially in a sector as emerging today as the Earth Observation market.Within this framework, the IACTEC-Space group of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias

The project aims at establishing a pipeline for the generation of galaxy mock catalogs using machine learning techniques. Such catalogs are key for the statistical analysis of forthcoming galaxy redshift surveys, some in which the IC is participating.

Using the publicly available cosmological fields of MUSE, we plan to detect the gas that feeds star formation in nearby galaxies. It would be the first time this gas is detected in Ha. The main advantage of using Ha with respect to Lya (used at high redshift) is the possibility of measuring metallicity and, thus, to be able to distinguish between

The last decade has witnessed the beginning of the experimental program in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN that early on, in 2012, reached one of its major milestones with the discovery of the Higgs. This favors a simple mechanism for the electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) which, combined with the absence of other new particles, confirms
