The objective of the Juan de la Cierva-formacion grants is to promote the hiring of people with a doctorate degree by research organizations in Spain for a period of two years in order to strengthen the skills acquired during a first stage of postdoctoral training in a different center from the one where they completed their PhD. The annual amount

The objective of the Juan de la Cierva-training grants is to promote the hiring of work by research organizations or Spanish i+D centers 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

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. However, despite the rapid increase in our phenomenological knowlege of jets, we still lack a fundamental

The general objective of this project is to exploit the potential of the Gaia mission, combined with the database built by our team in the last years, to bring substantial improvement in the determination of stellar distances and the early evolution of the LG galaxies. We will combine high resolution spectroscopy, optical and NIR photometric time

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
