PLATO 2.0 (PLAnetary Transits and Oscillation of stars) will the the 3rd medium class mission (M3) of the Cosmic Vision scientific programme of the European Space Agency. It was selected in February 2014, and just adopted in June 2017, with a launch date planned for 202 6 and six years of operations. PLATO 2.0 will place European researchers, and

This specific equipment will allow to carry out tests in cryogenics and high vacuum conditions of large electro-opto-mechanical systems. The first instrument that will benefit from this infrastructure will be HARMONI, the optical spectrograph / IR developed by ESO as first light instrument for the future Extremely Large European Telescope (ELT)

This aid is intended to complement the financing of action previously selected for financing by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) to the project of a new correction system for the primary focus with field rotation for the William Herschel telescope.

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

The main goal of this project is to consolidate and to guarantee the scientific leadership of those CMB experiments operating from the Teide Observatory (OT), and in which the IAC’s cosmology group is involved. On the one hand, the QUIJOTE experiment and the new generation of associated microwave instrumentation (MFI2 and the TMS spectrograph). On
