The Astrophysics Research Institute (ARI) was established at LJMU in 1992. Today the Institute comprises around 70 staff and research students working on topics...
Nuclear star formation in nearby galaxies with adaptive optics in the NIR
Starbursts and AGNs are frequently coupled in the central kiloparsecs of Seyfert galaxies, where molecular gas plays a critical role in fueling nuclear...
Nuevas observaciones del joven y aislado cúmulo embebido GM 24
El jovencísimo cúmulo GM 24, a una distancia de 2 kpc, se encuentra embebido en una caliente nube de CO aislada, en donde se formó hace menos de 105 años. El...
Observational cosmology at mm wavelengths with KIDs: the NIKA/NIKA2 example
Next generation of CMB experiments will require a large number of detectors (few tens of thousands) in order to tackle the challenging detection of primordial...
Observational evidence of secular evolution in barred galaxies
We have started a long term project to analyse the role played by bars in bulge formation and the formation and evolution of bars from the point of view of...
I will present the last results of the Transit Monitoring in the South (TraMoS) project. Since 2008, TraMoS has monitored transits of 30 exoplanets with...
So far more than 800 planets have been discovered and their characterization is becoming more important. Transiting planets offer the unique opportunity of...
Observing with the SARA remotely operated telescopes
The IAC is part of the Southeastern Association for Research in Astronomy (SARA), a consortium of colleges and universities in the US partnered with Lowell...
On the age of the Milky Way bulge stellar population
The Milky Way (MW) galaxy is not much different from its faraway cousins. However, our position within the MW allows us to study the properties of its stellar...
