Ramón y Cajal contract to develop his research work in the specific research project "Higgs Boson Study in the LHC"

The analysis of emission line spectra of photoionized nebulae allows us to determine the chemical composition of the interstellar medium from the solar neighbourhood to the high-redshift star-forming galaxies. It stands as an essential tool for our knowledge of the nucleosynthesis and cosmic chemical evolution. The advent of the large aperture (10m

The activity of the IAC in the NISP instrument will be focused on tasks related to testing the different models of the DAS (Driving and Acquisition Submodule) module. In particular, in the EM / EQM / FM models the IAC: a) has participated ellaborating the test plan and monitoring of activities, b) is taking part in the analysis of these results

Massive stars are key agents in the chemical and dynamical evolution of the Universe. Not only for millions of years do they continously deliver radiative and mechanical energy to their surroundings together with newly formed elements. They also explode as different kinds of Supernovae when they reach their final moment, injecting comparable

Macaronesia is a biogeographical region of five archipelagos in the Atlantic Ocean of which four are inhabited: Azores (Portugal), Canarias (Spain), Madeira (Portugal) and Cape Verde (Cape Verde). These islands share common geographical traits and cultural heritage, and have undergone a similar history since the beginning of the 15th century when

One of the main results obtained by the large optical and infrared sky surveys (DENIS, SDSS, 2MASS, UKIDSS, WISE) that started at the end of the last century, has been the discovery of hundreds of ultracool dwarfs in the solar neighborhood. Spectroscopic characterization of these objects has led to the definition of 3 new spectral classes, namely L
