Ramón y Cajal contract to develop his research work in the specific research project "Numerical Simulations of Galaxy Formation and Evolution"

An sizable fraction of present-day astrophysics is based on physical models of stellar atmospheres, which allow us to interpret observations of planets, stars, nebulae and galaxies. Traditionally, these models adopt a series of simplifying assumptions, including Local Thermodynamical Equilibrium (LTE), implying that matter and radiation are in

Numerical simulations have established themselves as a third pillar of science, complementing theoretical modelling and laboratory experiments. Especially in areas of science such as cosmology and astrophysics, computer simulations of the formation and evolution of galaxies and larger structures in the Universe are the only experiment to verify

Ramón y Cajal Contract to develop his research work in the specific research project "The Formation of Black Holes"

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), in response to its commitment to technology transfer to society, has created IACTec, the IAC's technological-business collaborative space. The present action will provide the IACTec building with a photonics laboratory that, together with the opto-mechanical and opto-electronic laboratories, will form

We propose the acquisition of specific technological equipment for the adaptation and safety control of the IAC infrastructures dedicated to the realization of tests in cryogenics and high vacuum of large scientific instrumentation. The increase in the diameter of the telescopes implies a significant increase in the size of their instruments. The
