  • Unveiling the missing populations of X-ray binaries: dormant black holes and ultra-compact systems

    X-ray binaries are excellent laboratories to study the physics of relativistic stars. On the one hand, they provide robust evidence for the existence of black holes (BHs), the pinnacle of extreme gravity. On the other, they allow investigations on neutron stars (NS) the densest form of matter known. In addition, accretion on matter (provided by the

  • Unveiling the Properties of Stellar Fosils in the Local Group Environment

    The main objective of this project is the study of the primeval star formation in nearby systems. In particular, we will address this research in three fundamental types: (1) the Local Group dwarf galaxies; (2) the Milky Way (MW) bulge and old disk populations; and (3) the Milky Way globular clusters. This kind of investigation is mandatory in

  • Using machine-learning techniques to drag galaxies from the noise in deep imaging

    We propose to extend our current lead in the area of deep astronomical imaging to decipher the secrets of galaxy formation and evolution. In particular, we will prepare for the imaging from the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) to which we will soon have privileged access. The LSST project is truly a 'Big Data' project in astrophysics, which

  • Vacuum equipment, cryogenics and automatic safety control in cryogenic infrastructures

    We propose the acquisition of specific technological equipment for the adaptation and safety control of the IAC infrastructures dedicated to the realization of tests in cryogenics and high vacuum of large scientific instrumentation. The increase in the diameter of the telescopes implies a significant increase in the size of their instruments. The
