Particle Astrophysics
The members of the Particle Astrophysics Group of the IAC participate actively in three large international collaborations of high-energy astrophysics: AMS-02...
Planetary nebulae as the key to understanding binary stellar
Per the classical, textbook definition, planetary nebulae are the glowing shells of gas and dust expelled by single, Sun-like stars at the end of their lives as...
The magnetic field is the main driver of the spectacular activity of the solar atmosphere, which covers the photosphere, chromosphere, transition region, and...

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...
Precision cosmology with the cosmic microwave background: QUIJOTE, PLANCK and other CMB experiments at the Teide Observatory
The main goal of this project is to ensure the scientific exploitation of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments in which the IAC's cosmology group...
Preparing the preliminary design review of EST MCAO
The objective of this proposal is to validate the high-level design of the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) of the European Solar Telescope (EST) in order...
Primitive Asteroids Spectroscopic Study: Exploitation of data from GAIA and JWST
Asteroids are considered the residual building blocks that formed the planets: a window to the formation and evolution of our solar system. Primitive asteroids...
Probing the Model Limitations of the Age Determination of Solar-like Oscillators from Space Photometry and Ground-based Spectroscopy
The age of a star cannot be measured; it can only be inferred from comparing observational parameters with predictions from stellar models. Hereby, the...
