  • Accurate linelists for exoplanet and very cool stars studies
    We are in the golden age for exoplanets studies, with currently several thousands of exoworlds discovered. Because of their low brightness and their large number, M dwarfs (~70% of stars) represent privileged targets to look for exoplanets. By essence, those objects are also cool objects, emitting significant fraction of their light in the infrared

  • 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

  • Constructive Preparatory Phase of the European Solar Telescope (EST) - Creation of the Project Office
    PREP-EST is a project funded by the Canary Islands Government under a direct grant awarded on grounds of public interest. The objective of PREP-EST is the realization of the preliminary design of systems and subsystems of the telescope to a sufficient level that allows starting the detailed design stage and, in a next phase, the beginning of the

  • IAC contribution to SPICA and multiwavelength scientific exploitation
    In the last two decades, Spain has built up a strong infrared community which have successfully contributed, at Co-I level, to the construction and to the scientific exploitation of basically all European InfraRed (IR) space instruments. The IAC has contributed to the construction of infrared instruments for the space telescopes ISO (ISOPHOT-S) and
