  • Polarimetric inference of magnetic fields
    The magnetic field is the main driver of the spectacular activity of the solar atmosphere, which covers the photosphere, chromosphere, transition region, and corona. This is true also for many other stars, although it is in the Suns atmosphere where we can observe the consequences of the interaction between an astrophysical plasma and its magnetic

  • TANNHAUSER C-Band Optical Communications System for the Nasmyth Focus of the Two-Meter Twin Telescope (TTT) at Teide Observatory
    The TANNHAUSER project is a public-private collaboration initiative in which the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) participates as a collaborating partner. Its main objective is to develop and integrate an advanced optical communications system into the Nasmyth platform of the Two-meter Twin Telescope (TTT), located at the Teide

  • A pilot survey to unveil dormant black holes
    Black holes (BHs) are the pinnacle of extreme gravity. They are responsible for the most violent phenomena observed in the Universe, from long gamma-ray bursts, tidal disruption events to gravitational waves (GW). Despite the recent growth in extragalactic BH discoveries by LIGO-VIRGO, our knowledge of the seed BH population is severely hindered by

  • SUBSTELLAR - Substellar Science with Euclid Space Mission
    SUBSTELLAR project is aimed at mining the Euclid Telescope surveys for pushing the frontier of knowledge in substellar science. The first challenge of the project is to identify, based on Euclid data, an unprecedented large number (>1.000.000) of very low mass (VLM) stars and Substellar-mass Objects (SMOs), including hard to find objects such as

  • At the FOrefront of Galactic Archaeology: evolution of the luminous and dark matter components of the Milky Way and Local Group dwarf galaxies in the Gaia ERA. 
    In this coordinated project, we propose to investigate fundamental questions concerning the formation and evolution of galaxies, by adopting the Galactic Archaeology approach. As the Sun is treated as a special star for the incredible amount of detail with which it can be studied, in the same way the Milky Way (MW) and Local Group (LG) galaxies are
