  • Multiband studies of rapid variability in X-ray binaries
    X-ray binaries (XRBs) are arguably the best sources for studying accretion and jets, because they traverse various accretion states with greatly differing jet strength, over timescales of the order of months, easily amenable to observation. Multi-wavelength variability data, combined with timing analysis techniques, provides information about the

  • Participation of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias in the development of HARMONI: Rescope study
    The Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), developed by the European Southern Observatory (ESO), will be the largest optical and infrared telescope ever built, with a 39-meter segmented mirror. This groundbreaking facility aims to transform our understanding of the Universe and offers significant opportunities for Spanish science and industry in advanced

  • The structure and evolution of galaxies and their outskirts
    We propose to study the evolution of galaxies through detailed analysis of observational data obtained with the most modern ground- and space-based telescopes. We will concentrate on two related important open questions in modern astrophysical research: how can deep imaging of large samples of galaxies uncover solutions to reported inconsistencies

  • Participation of IAC in the AMS experiment
    AMS-02 (Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer) is a multi-purpose particle physics detector that was deployed in the International Space Station (ISS) on May 19, 2011. The experiment was designed to measure the flux of cosmic rays with unprecedented precision, which allows to study the origin and propagation of cosmic rays in the Milky Way. The main

  • WEAVE: Exploring the Cosmic Original Symphony, from Stars to galaxy clusters
    WEAVE-ECOS is an unoriented research project that integrates two senior researchers and their team in order to efficiently exploit the first science data from the new WEAVE spectrograph, which is in the commissioning phase at the William Herschel telescope (WHT), in La Palma (Canary Islands). This multidisciplinary project has been designed to

  • The internal structure of ionized nebulae and its effect on determining the chemical composition of the interstellar medium and the Universe
    The project focuses on the study of the effect of the internal structure of temperature and density in ionized nebulae on the determination of their chemical composition. The main objective is to carry out different independent verifications and analyze in depth the repercussions of our recent work published in Nature (Méndez-Delgado et al. 2023)
