  • 2D spectroscopy of planetary nebulae with high abundance discrepancies
    The discrepancy between chemical abundances calculated from optical recombination lines (RLs) and collisional excitation lines (CELs) is an important unsolved problem in nebular astrophysics. In planetary nebulae (PNe) there is increasing evidence that the discrepancy is due to the presence of two gas phases: a hot component with standard

  • Quasar feedback and molecular gas reservoirs
    The broad scientific objective of this project is to advance in our understanding of active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback and its connection with the galaxies molecular gas reservoirs. We will do so by performing the first multiphase characterization of outflow properties in a sample of nearby and luminous type-2 quasars (QSO2s). By combining our

  • Development of Big Data toos for the study of variable stars in galaxies with LSST data
    The objective of this proposal is the development of data analysis tools in preparation for the scientific exploitation of LSST, the largest mapping project of the southern sky that will begin observations in 2023. Specifically, the fundamental objective is the analysis of time series for the search and characterization of variable stars in

  • The reionization of the universe
    The Universe's re-ionisation is at the forefront of research. How the re-ionisation occurred is however still not known. This project intents to understand the mechanisms that produce the reionsation. Besides it deals with the most active sources that take part in the re-ionisation. In this project we will emphasised the study of LAEs with double

  • 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

  • Near Earth Object Modelling and Payloads for Protection
    Multiple communities are now interested in NEOs for very different reasons ranging from science to planetary defence and commercial objectives (e.g., mining). Given the shared scientific and technological basis, all of these communities require knowledge and modelling capabilities of asteroid properties, as well as the capability to perform close
