Linking bIrth and death: an Empirical approach To lumInous blue Massive star Evolution
Recent investigations have dented confidence in state-of-the-art models of massive star evolution. As a result, our current understanding of how massive stars...
Mapping dark sectors at the cross-roads of Astrophysics, Cosmology and Particle Physics
The elusive nature of dark matter (DM), which constitutes roughly 80% of the universe's matter, is a major challenge in modern physics. Theoretical models...
MASSIVE BINARY INTERACTION PRODUCTS REVEALED BY LARGE SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEYS
Over the past two decades, our understanding of massive star evolution has undergone a paradigm shift. For nearly 40 years, theoretical and observational...

This project MATRYOSHKA (Mass Assembly TRaced bY glObular clusterS, tHe Key to gAlaxy evolution) aims to address three key questions in astrophysics: (i) how do...
MHD MODeling and beyond: in preparation for European Solar Telescope
Solar Physics research will experience a big step forward in the next years. This progress will be founded on the contribution from recent and upcoming...
Micro- and milli-lensing studies of quasars and dark matter sub-haloes
Summary of the coordinated Project: Gravitational lenses are a powerful tool for astrophysics and cosmology. We will combine our group's experience in the...
IAC is developing a Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) bench, with the purpose of demonstrating in laboratory solutions of some of the main problems related...
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...
