  • Exploring Ultra-short-period Rocky Exoplanets through Kinematical Analysis
    One of the most intriguing and rare types of exoplanets are ultra-short-period (USP) planets. As the name indicates, these planets are defined by having orbital periods shorter than one day. Out of the more than 5500 confirmed exoplanets known to date, only 130 are USP planets, and approximately 40 have mass and radius measurements. Since the only

  • Tracing galaxy evolution with nuclear structures in late-type galaxies - PROJECT 101108180 — TRANSLATE
    Central regions of galaxies are inhabited by dense small structures, such as nuclear star clusters (NSCs) and nuclear disks and rings. These, at the bottom of the galactic potential well, are important tracers of the overall galaxy evolution, but the dominant mechanisms of their formation in galaxies of different masses and morphologies are still

  • 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 they evolve towards the white dwarf phase. However, there is growing evidence that a significant fraction, perhaps even a majority, of planetary nebulae are the result of binary

  • IAC contribution to PRIMA and multiwavelength scientific exploitation
    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
