  • 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)

  • Orientatio ad sideera VI: a cultural astronomy approach
    This is a subproject that is part of a coordinated project of a clearly multidisciplinary nature. It focuses on an interdisciplinary subject by nature such as cultural astronomy, involving disciplines as diverse as astronomy, archaeology, anthropology or epigraphy, and even statistics, image processing, and remote sensing. The IAC has pioneered

  • Probing the Model Limitations of the Age Determination of Solar-like Oscillators from Space Photometry and Ground-based Spectroscopy
    The age of a star cannot be measured; it can only be inferred from comparing observational parameters with predictions from stellar models. Hereby, the incomplete assumptions, parameterized description of the internal stellar physics, and limited observables lead to deviations that translate into substantial uncertainties of the determined age of

  • EDUCADO: Exploring the Deep Universe by Computational Analysis of Data from Observations
    The formation and evolution of massive galaxies is reasonably well understood in the context of the successful standard ΛCDM formalism. Such simulations of cosmic evolution, however, lead to serious challenges in the regime of the very faint galaxies, including the problems referred to as missing satellites, too big to fail, and planes of satellite

  • The formation of fullerene molecular nanostructures in space
    NanoFullerenes is an ambitious interdisciplinary project to understand the top-down formation process of fullerene molecular nanostructures in space, involving the destruction/processing of hydrogenated amorphous carbon (HAC) nanoparticles and similar natural materials like asphaltenes and kerogen. By understanding this, NanoFullerenes will allow
