The Sun is well known for its magnetic activity, including periodic flares that rise from its surface when magnetic field lines tangle, cross or reorganise near sunspots. Flares send streams of charged particles into space. If they are directed towards Earth, these particles can disrupt satellites or cause colourful auroral displays. The EU-funded

The solution to some of the most important open questions in both galactic and extragalactic astrophysics hinges upon understanding black hole activity and its associated accretion disks and outflows (jets and winds). Black holes are found in two main flavours. There is a population of stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binaries, whose luminous

The broad scientific objective of this project is to take a major step forward in our understanding of active galactic nuclei (AGN) feedback by performing a multi-phase outflow census (ionized and molecular gas phases) in a representative sample of nearby obscured quasars. This will serve to identify the outflow properties/phases that are most

In the framework of the Subprograma Estatal de Formación and the Subprograma Estatal de Incorporación, of the Programa Estatal de Promoción del Talento y su Empleabilidad, within the framework of the Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación 2017-2020 (action Juan de la Cierva- Incorporación), call 2018, the researcher will

This research project aims at combining expertise in high performance com- puting (HPC), in theoretical spectropolarimetry, and in the numerical methods for the solution of the radiative transfer (RT) problem for polarized radiation under non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) conditions, in order to de- velop and apply novel diagnostic tools
