The purpose of the grants is to train doctors by financing employment contracts, under the modality of the pre-doctoral contract, in order for researchers in training to carry out a doctoral thesis associated with a research project funded by grants for proyectos de I+D. of the State Subprogram of Knowledge Generation within the framework of the

One of the most intriguing and rare types of exoplanets are ultra-short-period (USP) planets. As the name indicates, these planets are defined by having orbital periods shorter than one day. Out of the more than 5500 confirmed exoplanets known to date, only 130 are USP planets, and approximately 40 have mass and radius measurements. Since the only

The Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey (Ariel) mission will address the fundamental questions on what exoplanets are made of and how planetary systems form and evolve by investigating the atmospheres of many hundreds of diverse planets orbiting different types of stars. This large and unbiased survey will contribute to

Central regions of galaxies are inhabited by dense small structures, such as nuclear star clusters (NSCs) and nuclear disks and rings. These, at the bottom of the galactic potential well, are important tracers of the overall galaxy evolution, but the dominant mechanisms of their formation in galaxies of different masses and morphologies are still
