  • Planetary nebulae as the key to understanding binary stellar
    Per the classical, textbook definition, planetary nebulae are the glowing shells of gas and dust expelled by single, Sun-like stars at the end of their lives as they evolve towards the white dwarf phase. However, there is growing evidence that a significant fraction, perhaps even a majority, of planetary nebulae are the result of binary

  • IAC contribution to PRIMA and multiwavelength scientific exploitation
    In the last two decades, Spain has built up and consolidated a strong infrared community that has successfully contributed to the construction and scientific exploitation of basically all European space instruments in this energy range. The IAC has contributed to the construction of infrared instruments for the space telescopes ISO (ISOPHOT-S) and

  • The structure and evolution of galaxies and their outskirts
    We propose to study the evolution of galaxies through detailed analysis of observational data obtained with the most modern ground- and space-based telescopes. We will concentrate on two related important open questions in modern astrophysical research: how can deep imaging of large samples of galaxies uncover solutions to reported inconsistencies

  • Participation of IAC in the AMS experiment
    AMS-02 (Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer) is a multi-purpose particle physics detector that was deployed in the International Space Station (ISS) on May 19, 2011. The experiment was designed to measure the flux of cosmic rays with unprecedented precision, which allows to study the origin and propagation of cosmic rays in the Milky Way. The main

  • Mapping dark sectors at the cross-roads of Astrophysics, Cosmology and Particle Physics
    The elusive nature of dark matter (DM), which constitutes roughly 80% of the universe's matter, is a major challenge in modern physics. Theoretical models suggest that dark matter could be composed of light (sub-GeV) particles that interact weakly with the Standard Model of particle physics. The DarkMaps proposal focuses on exploring the

  • The Baryonic Cycle and its Stellar populations
    B-CycleS is born as an ambitious long-term research program that aims to provide a comprehensive picture for the formation and evolution of galaxies by studying the interplay between their two basic constituents: baryons and dark matter. B-CycleS is rooted in the detailed analysis of the stellar population properties of galaxies and equipped with
