The purpose of the grants is to train doctors by financing employment contracts, under the modality of the pre-doctoral contract, in order for researchers in training to carry out a doctoral thesis associated with a research project funded by grants for proyectos de I+D. of the State Subprogram of Knowledge Generation within the framework of the

The Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey (Ariel) mission will address the fundamental questions on what exoplanets are made of and how planetary systems form and evolve by investigating the atmospheres of many hundreds of diverse planets orbiting different types of stars. This large and unbiased survey will contribute to

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

The overall goal of the research project BURST is to understand 1) the built-up of galaxy clusters in the universe and 2) the importance of dust obscured star formation in such systems. To accomplish these goals, we have and will assemble a vast data set spanning a wide range of frequencies from the optical/near-infrared to the radio including

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
