Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are characterized by a strong emission coming from a very compact region (only few pcs) at the galaxy center. Blazars form a class of AGN, characterized by high luminosity

Our goal is to study the processes that lead to the formation of low mass stars, brown dwarfs and planets and to characterize the physical properties of these objects in various evolutionary stages

The IAC was a participant in this project to create a device capable of generating acoustic signals to carry information about space. Its aim is to create a perception of space without the aid of sight.
