  • Participation of IAC in the AMS experiment
    The Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) is a general purpose high energy particle detector that was deployed to the International Space Station (ISS) on May 19, 2011 to conduct a unique long duration mission of fundamental physics research from outer space. Among the physics objectives of AMS are a search for Dark Matter and Antimatter, the study of

  • Constructive Preparatory Phase of the European Solar Telescope (EST) - Creation of the Project Office
    PREP-EST is a project funded by the Canary Islands Government under a direct grant awarded on grounds of public interest. The objective of PREP-EST is the realization of the preliminary design of systems and subsystems of the telescope to a sufficient level that allows starting the detailed design stage and, in a next phase, the beginning of the

  • Integral field spectroscopy of Local HII regions. Templates for the study of extragalactic HII regions
    The connection between the small-scale structure of the HII regions and their integrated spectrum is largely unknown and the main source of uncertainty in the determination of chemical abundances. We propose a project that attempts to alleviate this situation by obtaining and studying, for the first time, integral field spectra of an extensive

  • Detection and characterization of Earth-like planets in nearby stars
    Based on statistics provided by the Kepler space mission and searches performed with Doppler techniques, super-Earth and Earth-like exoplanets (Rp ~ 0.8-2 times the Earth radius) could exist in about 10-20% of the Sun-like stars and potentially in more than 50% of the stars smaller than the Sun. Despite this, we still do not know which stars in the

  • Black hole and massive galaxy evolution
    Our theoretical understanding of cosmology is, a priori, inconsistent with observations. In a Universe dominated by dark matter, the most massive galaxies are expected to form late and slowly, which is in contradiction with observations whose behavior is just the opposite. In a scenario where our theoretical conception of the Universe is in

  • "Studying the physics of inflation through observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background from the Teide Observatory"
    The final goal of this project is to guarantee the scientific explotation of the data coming from the QUIJOTE and GroundBIRD experiments, both currently located at the Teide Observatory with the aim of performing highaccuracy observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) polarisation.The final goal of these observations is the detection of
