The objective of the Juan de la Cierva-training grants is to promote the hiring of work by research organizations or centros i+D españoles other than those in which they carried out their pre-doctoral training. The aids whose annual amount is 26,300 euros, are used to co-finance the salary and the business contribution of Social Security of the

The aim of NanoSpace is to determine the abundance, formation mechanisms and astrochemical role of carbonaceous nanoparticles in space. Carbon is ubiquitous in space; from small carbon and hydrocarbon molecules to fullerenes and large but currently unidentified polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, carbonaceous dust particles and ultimately life. The

This project proposes a new approach to the studies of cultural astronomy (archaeoastronomy and ethnoastronomy) from a novel perspective, this time being the first occasion since this line of research began in Spain in which two institutions of recognized prestige and which are worldwide leaders in the field, the Institute of Astrophysics of the

The environment plays a key role in the formation and evolution of galaxies. Clusters of galaxies are the most massive and virialized structures known in the Universe and therefore are the ideal laboratories for the study of environmental processes in galaxies. It is not an easy task to discern, between the properties of galaxies, which have been

The Local Group (LG) offers us a chance to test the present scenario of galaxy formation in ways that are impossible elsewhere. It contains about 50 know galaxies, most of which are dwarfs so faint that they would not be detected beyond the LG. Hence, ourunderstanding of low-mass galaxy formation physics, strongly tied to models of galaxy feedback
