We propose to study the evolution of galaxies through detailed analysis of images and spectra obtained with the most modern ground- and space-based telescopes. We will concentrate on two related important open questions in modern astrophysical research: how do galaxies evolve over their lifetimes, possibly changing their appearance and

Main objective of this project is to maximize the scientific exploitation of the unique capabilities of SONG (Stellar Observations Network Group) high-precision radial velocity measurements and flexibility to execute robotic observations over long periods of time- on scientific programs up to now not achievable with any other space or ground based

Ramón y Cajal contract to develop his research work in the specific research project “The integrated galactic stellar initial mass function - connecting resolved and unresolved stellar populations”.

In the last two decades, Spain has built up strong IR and X-ray communities which have successfully contributed, at Co-I level, to the construction and to the scientific exploitation of basically all European InfraRed (IR) space instruments and to the participation in X-ray missions, including Athena. The IAC has contributed to the construction of

This subproject aims to contribute with for scientific and technical work for the IACs contributions to the PLATO 2.0 mission is requested. This includes engineering work during the B2 phase, to be completed in July 2017 with the PDR, and during phase C, to finish in 2018 with the CDR, in addition to acquisitions of LLI (Long Lead Items) during

This project aims to understand the key physical laws and processes underlying a range of basic phenomena observed in the solar atmosphere. We will study the emergence of magnetized plasma from the solar interior, the propagation of waves and shocks in the atmosphere, and the stability of structures (prominences, photospheric magnetic flux tubes)
