We will support education with a lecture series given by experienced researched on astronomy science, observing and instrumentation topics for university students. Such lectures enhance the education of the next generation of astronomers and provide feedback for researchers from students. These topics will be covered by our more senior staff

The main goal of this project is to ensure the scientific exploitation of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments in which the IAC's cosmology group will be involved in the period 2018-2020: QUIJOTE, PLANCK and the new experiments to be installed at the Teide Observatory (TO) in this period (GroundBird, STRIP, KISS). The specific goals of

We propose a joint theoretical and observational project aimed to probe the link between binary central stars of planetary nebulae (PNe) and the chemical composition and kinematics of their gaseous envelopes. We will extend our pioneering work and continue with our surveys to find new central binary systems. This will eventually provide the still

This funding will allow the purchase of a camera with electronic shutter and electronic multiplication as well, which is not availbable at the moment at IAC, and which will ne added to the set of cameras devoted to research and development. Since 1995, the IAC has been involved in many proyects related with optical communications in space, which

In the last two decades, Spain has built up strong IR and X-ray communities which have successfully contributed, at Co-I level, to the construction and to the scientific exploitation of basically all European InfraRed (IR) space instruments and to the participation in X-ray missions, including Athena. The IAC has contributed to the construction of
