In the last two decades, Spain has built up and consolidated a strong infrared community that has successfully contributed to the construction and scientific exploitation of basically all European space instruments in this energy range. The IAC has contributed to the construction of infrared instruments for the space telescopes ISO (ISOPHOT-S) and

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

Mapping dark sectors at the cross-roads of Astrophysics, Cosmology and Particle Physics
The elusive nature of dark matter (DM), which constitutes roughly 80% of the universe's matter, is a major challenge in modern physics. Theoretical models suggest that dark matter could be composed of light (sub-GeV) particles that interact weakly with the Standard Model of particle physics. The DarkMaps proposal focuses on exploring the

The Baryonic Cycle and its Stellar populations
B-CycleS is born as an ambitious long-term research program that aims to provide a comprehensive picture for the formation and evolution of galaxies by studying the interplay between their two basic constituents: baryons and dark matter. B-CycleS is rooted in the detailed analysis of the stellar population properties of galaxies and equipped with

Scientific exploitation of Euclid data: Unveiling the rise of complexity in the Universe
Disentangling the properties of matter and dark energy is one of the key problems of current astrophysics. This is the main objective of theEuclid mission, considered the most ambitious challenge for European astrophysics in the coming years. Euclid will carry out bot photometric and spectroscopic surveys that will generate the largest and deepest
