Cosmological simulations have become indispensable tools for understanding structure formation in the Universe. By modeling the complex interplay of gravity, baryonic physics, and galaxy formation across vast scales, these simulations provide crucial insights into the evolution of galaxies and the largescale structure of the cosmos. This project

The ESSTE-JWST Coordinated Project will investigate the surface and compositional properties of a diverse and representative sample of primitive small bodies across the Solar System, with the main goal of studying if there exists a continuum from the inner main belt to the outer and icy trans- Neptunian region. The project will focus on the non-icy

Summary of the coordinated Project: Gravitational lenses are a powerful tool for astrophysics and cosmology. We will combine our group's experience in the theory and observation of gravitational lenses to achieve the following goals: (i) to study the nature and abundance of different types of dark deflectors over a very large mass range in a

This project MATRYOSHKA (Mass Assembly TRaced bY glObular clusterS, tHe Key to gAlaxy evolution) aims to address three key questions in astrophysics: (i) how do galaxies grow in size and mass; (ii) what is the dark matter content of these galaxies; and (iii) whether the current cosmological paradigm is compatible with this picture. We propose to

Aid for predoctoral contracts for the training of doctors contemplated in the State Training Subprogram of the State Program to Develop, Attract and Retain Talent, within the framework of the State Plan for Scientific, Technical and Innovation Research 2021-2023, under a competitive competition and applying the principles of publicity and

The aim of this project is to carry out research on the complex dynamics of plasma and magnetic field structures in different layers of the solar atmosphere, with emphasis on their connectivity and energy balance. The project relies on the creation of theoretical models, advanced numerical simulations, the analysis of state-of-the-art observations
