  • Orientatio ad Sidera V: astronomy, science and heritage, a multidisciplinary approach
    This project proposes a new approach to the studies of cultural astronomy (archaeoastronomy and ethnoastronomy) from a novel perspective, this time being the first occasion since this line of research began in Spain in which two institutions of recognized prestige and which are worldwide leaders in the field, the Institute of Astrophysics of the

  • Weave: Cluster Surveys: A New Vision of the role of the environment in Galazy Evolution
    The environment plays a key role in the formation and evolution of galaxies. Clusters of galaxies are the most massive and virialized structures known in the Universe and therefore are the ideal laboratories for the study of environmental processes in galaxies. It is not an easy task to discern, between the properties of galaxies, which have been

  • Kinematics of Local Group Dwarf Galaxies: Evolution, Orbits and Star Formation Quenching
    The Local Group (LG) offers us a chance to test the present scenario of galaxy formation in ways that are impossible elsewhere. It contains about 50 know galaxies, most of which are dwarfs so faint that they would not be detected beyond the LG. Hence, ourunderstanding of low-mass galaxy formation physics, strongly tied to models of galaxy feedback

  • COordinating BEARD: The Challenge of Milky Way-like Galaxies to the Cold Dark Matter Paradigm
    In a Universe dominated by Cold Dark Matter (CDM), the growth of galaxies is expected to happen hierarchically: mergers of small systems eventually create a giant galaxy. This theory has been very successful at describing the evolution of Mpc-size structures (such as filaments and galaxy clusters) and it seems to work well for massive ellipticals

  • Thick discs, relics of the infancy of galaxies
    Galaxy discs are made of two components, the thin and the thick disc. Thick discs contain up to 50% of the baryonic mass of a galaxy. Because their stars are among the oldest in the Universe, thick discs are relics of the infancy of galaxies. Thus, understanding the origin of thick discs is key to unveil how galaxies themselves form, which in turn

  • Scientific explotation of the new ESPRESSO, NIRPS and Horus spectrographs for the study of exoplanets and the most primitive stars of the Milky Way
    High-resolution, high-stability spectroscopy is crucial for the precise determination of radial velocities and the detailed chemical analysis of stars in different contexts of the Galaxy. The ESPRESSO and HORuS spectrographs, in operation on the VLT and GTC telescopes since mid-2018, are already contributing significantly to our knowledge of
