The objective of this proposal is to apply for funding to complete the construction and implementation of a 3.5 m prototype, dubbed Small-ELF, at Teide Observatory by 2025 as a demonstrator for the future ExoLife Finder (ELF), whose the scientific objective is the detection of biomarkers in the atmospheres of extrasolar planets. The technological

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

The Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias (www.iac.es) and its technology innovation and transfer space IACTEC (https://www.iac.es/en/science-and-technology/technology-transfer-iactec) handle vast data sets from a) spectroscopic surveys of the sky to study the structure and formation of the universe and the Milky Way, b) medical images for the early

Early detection of asteroids with Earth-impact orbits is a fundamental part of the Planetary Defense strategy. Technology has advanced to the point where it is possible to image the entire sky each night and process the data in real time. Various surveys have been operating since the 1980s in search of Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs). Right

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

Galaxy evolution is one of the hot topics in Astrophysics that have shown tangible progress in the last years. This has been mostly due to advent of large telescopes, both ground based and in space, with state-of-the-art instruments, equipped with high sensitive detectors. They have made possible acquiring the deepest surveys in different
