In the last two decades, Spain has built up and consolidated a strong infrared community that has successfully contributed to the construction and scientific exploitation of basically all European space instruments in this energy range. The IAC has contributed to the construction of infrared instruments for the space telescopes ISO (ISOPHOT-S) and

The structure and evolution of galaxies and their outskirts
We propose to study the evolution of galaxies through detailed analysis of observational data obtained with the most modern ground- and space-based telescopes. We will concentrate on two related important open questions in modern astrophysical research: how can deep imaging of large samples of galaxies uncover solutions to reported inconsistencies

Participation of IAC in the AMS experiment
AMS-02 (Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer) is a multi-purpose particle physics detector that was deployed in the International Space Station (ISS) on May 19, 2011. The experiment was designed to measure the flux of cosmic rays with unprecedented precision, which allows to study the origin and propagation of cosmic rays in the Milky Way. The main

The whole sun project: untangling the complex physical mechanisms behind our eruptive star and its twins: "Whole sun"
The Sun is a magnetically active star with violent eruptions that can hit Earth´s magnetosphere and cause important perturbations in our technology-dependent society. The objective of the Whole Sun project is to tackle in a coherent way for the first time key questions in Solar Physics that involve as a whole the solar interior and atmosphere.

4MSTS ICTS2022: Implementation of actions to improve OCAN
The goal of this agreement focuses on the site design and other complementary studies, required to finalize the Cherenkov Telescope Array Northern Observatory in its final configuration. For this purpose, the set of Medium Size Telescopes (MST) must be enhanced from the original set of 5 corresponding to the threshold configuration, to a set of 9

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 contribute to the operations of the SO/PHI instrument. (We are co-PI of its development.) Second, we aim at participating in the data reduction of the third flight of Sunrise and in the preparation of the database
