  • Construction of the MEU-PSU unit of the PLATO space mission
    The objective of this initiative is to give continuity to the pending tasks in the construction and delivery of the MEU-PSU (Main Electronic Unit - Power Supply Unit) of the PLATO space mission. The main objective of PLATO is the identification and characterization of exoplanetary systems, focused on terrestrial-type planets in the habitable zone

  • Search and charazzterization of amino acids in star-formins regions
    One of the unresolved issues in astrophysics and astrochemistry is to understand how prebiotic molecules assemble into complex structures and establish which ones are the necessary conditions for life to arise and evolve on Earth and in the exoplanets. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, constituents essential to all organisms and

  • Detecting farside active regions with Deep Learning
    The identification of active regions in the far-side of the Sun by analyzing the oscillations on the Earth-side is one of the most impressive results from local helioseismology. The interest in the detection of active regions in the farside goes beyond the simple curiosity of measuring them before they rotate into the visible hemisphere. Due to the

  • Detection and characterization of Earth-like planets in nearby stars
    Based on statistics provided by the Kepler space mission and searches performed with Doppler techniques, super-Earth and Earth-like exoplanets (Rp ~ 0.8-2 times the Earth radius) could exist in about 10-20% of the Sun-like stars and potentially in more than 50% of the stars smaller than the Sun. Despite this, we still do not know which stars in the

  • Black hole and massive galaxy evolution
    Our theoretical understanding of cosmology is, a priori, inconsistent with observations. In a Universe dominated by dark matter, the most massive galaxies are expected to form late and slowly, which is in contradiction with observations whose behavior is just the opposite. In a scenario where our theoretical conception of the Universe is in

  • "Studying the physics of inflation through observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background from the Teide Observatory"
    The final goal of this project is to guarantee the scientific explotation of the data coming from the QUIJOTE and GroundBIRD experiments, both currently located at the Teide Observatory with the aim of performing highaccuracy observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarisation.The final goal of these observations is the detection of
