Accreting black-holes and neutron stars in X-ray binaries provide an ideal laboratory for exploring the physics of compact objects, yielding not only confirmation of the existence of stellar-mass black holes via dynamical mass measurements, but also the best opportunity for probing high-gravity environments and the physics of accretion; the most

The objective is to promote the consolidation of the professional careers of national and foreign researchers, so that they can develop their professional careers within SECTI. Promoting the consolidation of the professional career of research personnel, encouraging the creation of permanent positions in the affiliated institutions and facilitating

This project aims to continue our research on small bodies of the Solar System that started with two projects funded in previous calls: Science with OSIRIS-REx, led by J. Licandro(AYA201567772-R) and Primitive Asteroids Spectroscopic Study: Exploitation of data from Gaia and JWST led by J. de Léon (AYA2017-89090-P). The broad scientific objective

The Sun is a magnetically active star with violent eruptions that can hit Earth´s magnetosphere and cause important perturbations in our technology-dependent society. The objective of the Whole Sun project is to tackle in a coherent way for the first time key questions in Solar Physics that involve as a whole the solar interior and atmosphere.

Massive stars are those with more than ~8 solar masses, the limit above which stars may undergo a core collapse supernova (SN) explosion at the end of its life. They have played a critical role in how the Universe has evolved and to understand this role we need to know the physics ruling them and the evolutionary paths they follow. In the last

Cosmological simulations of galaxy formation have increasingly become instrumental tools in advancing our understanding of structure formation in the Universe. Such simulations follow the nonlinear evolution of galaxies by modelling the essential physical processes involved in galaxy formation over a huge range of temporal and spatial scales
