The research that is being carried out by the group can be condensed into two main lines:

1) Study of the structure, dynamics, physical conditions and chemical evolution of Galactic and extragalactic

Pi2FA aims at the development of new methods for investigating the magnetism in the outer layers of the solar atmosphere, the chromosphere. The objective is to understand the processes that make the chromosphere have so high temperatures.

According to the purposes of the Digital Transformation Plan published by the AGE, the Action Plan for the Digital Transformation of the IAC has been elaborated defining a set of projects to be

Planet Change is an international educational project participated in by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), and financed by the European Commission through the Erasmus+ 2021-2027 program

PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) is the third medium-class mission in ESA's Cosmic Vision programme. Its objective is to find and study a large number of extrasolar planetary systems, with emphasis on the properties of terrestrial planets in the habitable zone around solar-like stars

A Cosmic Microwave Background Polarimeter

POLMAG aims at a true breakthrough in the development and application of polarized radiation diagnostic methods for exploring the magnetic fields of the chromosphere, transition region and corona of the Sun.

The IAC, a member of the Spanish Supercomputing Network (RES), is participating in the Quantum Spain project, which is part of the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy (ENIA).

QUIJOTE es un programa de dos telescopios y su batería de instrumentos, instalados en el Observatorio del Teide, dedicados fundamentalmente a la caracterización de la polarización del Fondo Cósmico de Microondas, en el rango de frecuencias de 10-42 GHz.

QUIJOTE (Q-U-I JOint TEnerife CMB experiment) - is a program with two telescopes and a battery of instruments, installed in the Teide Observatory, dedicated to the characterization of the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background, in the frequency range 10-42 GHz.

The aim of this project is to combine two unique datasets, the nine Planck all-sky maps and the four QUIJOTE Northern sky maps, to provide the best possible characterization of the physical properties of polarized emissions in the microwave domain.
