High-Resolution Solar Physics Network (SOLARNET)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2013, Date de fin: 31 mars 2017,
This project aims at integrating the major European infrastructures in the field of high-resolution solar physics. The following actions will be taken: (i) realise Trans-national Access to external European users; (ii) enhance and spread data acquisition and processing expertise to the Europe-wide community; (iii) increase the impact of high-resolution data by offering science-ready data and facil ...

Optical Infrared Co-ordination Network for Astronomy (OPTICON)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
Optical-infrared astronomy in Europe is in a state of transition and opportunity, with the goal of a viable structured European scale community in sight. A strong astronomical community requires access to state of the art infrastructures (telescopes), equipped with the best possible instrumentation, and with that access being open to all on a basis of competitive excellence. Further, the community ...

Exploitation of Space Data for Innovative Helio- and Asteroseismology (SPACEINN)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2013, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2016,
Observations of oscillations on the solar and stellar surfaces have emerged as a unique and extremely powerful tool to gain information on, and understanding of, the processes in the Sun and stars, and the origin of the variability in the solar and stellar output.Through helio- and asteroseismology detailed inferences of the internal structure and rotation of the Sun, and extensive information on ...

Feeding and hiding the monster: triggering and obscuring the central engine of active galaxies (FEEDING & HIDING AGN)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 21 avr. 2016,
Some of the most important open questions in astrophysics concern how and when active galactic nuclei (AGN) are triggered, and how important they are in the evolution of galaxies.In order to understand these processes and interpret the results found for AGN at cosmological distances, it is fundamental to account for the structure of their central engines in the local universe. This includes the un ...

Detailed Anatomy of Galaxies (DAGAL)
Date du début: 1 avr. 2012, Date de fin: 31 mars 2016,
We propose an ambitious network based on a combination of training through high-level astrophysical research and a comprehensive package of complimentary skills training. Our network exploits a unique data set: a combination of very deep mid-infrared imaging of over 2300 local galaxies which we are obtaining with the Spitzer Space Telescope, with ground- and space-based UV, optical, and radio data ...

The three-dimensional Magnetic Structure of solar Filaments and Prominences (MASFIPRO)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2015,
Solar filaments are prominent cold and dense structures of plasma suspended in the hot corona. They are called prominences when observed above the solar limb. Despite they were probably the first solar features to be observed, the magnetic structure of solar filaments is still largely unknown, being their determination a fundamental problem for Solar Physics. The reason is the lack of chromospheri ...

Defining a new research topic in astrophysics: Rapidly changing magnetic fields as the missing link to the physics of relativistic jets (Relativistic Jets)
Date du début: 1 nov. 2011, Date de fin: 31 oct. 2013,
Black holes and neutron stars (compact objects) attracting matter from their surroundings are known to launch continuous jets of matter and energy that are released at close to the speed of light, but the physical process of jet formation is, after 30 years of research, still poorly understood. We (both myself and members of the host institution) have recently and independently identified the sign ...

Rocky Planets Around Cool Stars (RoPACS)
Date du début: 1 déc. 2008, Date de fin: 30 nov. 2012,
The search for life bearing planets elsewhere is one of the major themes in contemporary astronomy, and much science investment is committed or being directed to seek and study extra-solar planets, with projects like Corot, Kepler, JWST, and Darwin. Previous search efforts focus on finding earth-like planets around Sun-like stars, however, cool stars are by far the most populous potential planet h ...
