  • Multiband study of rapid variability in X-ray binaries
    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

  • Orientatio ad Sidera V: astronomy, science and heritage, a multidisciplinary approach
    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

  • Weave: Cluster Surveys: A New Vision of the role of the environment in Galazy Evolution
    The environment plays a key role in the formation and evolution of galaxies. Clusters of galaxies are the most massive and virialized structures known in the Universe and therefore are the ideal laboratories for the study of environmental processes in galaxies. It is not an easy task to discern, between the properties of galaxies, which have been

  • COordinating BEARD: The Challenge of Milky Way-like Galaxies to the Cold Dark Matter Paradigm
    In a Universe dominated by Cold Dark Matter (CDM), the growth of galaxies is expected to happen hierarchically: mergers of small systems eventually create a giant galaxy. This theory has been very successful at describing the evolution of Mpc-size structures (such as filaments and galaxy clusters) and it seems to work well for massive ellipticals

  • Kinematics of Local Group Dwarf Galaxies: Evolution, Orbits and Star Formation Quenching
    The Local Group (LG) offers us a chance to test the present scenario of galaxy formation in ways that are impossible elsewhere. It contains about 50 know galaxies, most of which are dwarfs so faint that they would not be detected beyond the LG. Hence, ourunderstanding of low-mass galaxy formation physics, strongly tied to models of galaxy feedback

  • Thick discs, relics of the infancy of galaxies
    Galaxy discs are made of two components, the thin and the thick disc. Thick discs contain up to 50% of the baryonic mass of a galaxy. Because their stars are among the oldest in the Universe, thick discs are relics of the infancy of galaxies. Thus, understanding the origin of thick discs is key to unveil how galaxies themselves form, which in turn
