Using the Magellanic Clouds to Understand the Interaction of Galaxies (INTERCLOUDS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2021,

The Magellanic Clouds are the nearest gas-rich dwarf satellites of the Milky Way and illustrate a typical example of an early phase of a minor merger event, the collision of galaxies that differ in mass by at least a factor of ten. In spite of their important role in supplementing material to the Milky Way halo and the numerous investigations made in the last decade, there remain several uncertain ...

Optical Infrared Coordination Network for Astronomy (OPTICON)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2020,

Europe has become a global leader in optical-near infrared astronomy through excellence in space and ground-based experimental and theoretical research. While the major infrastructures are delivered through major national and multi-national agencies (ESO, ESA) their continuing scientific competitiveness requires a strong community of scientists and technologists distributed across Europe’s nations ...

Study of Emission Line Galaxies with Integral Field Spectroscopy (SELGIFS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

"Integral Field Spectroscopy (IFS) is a relatively new technique that allows to obtain spectra of extended sources as a function of position. This technique has flourished in large aperture, high resolution telescopes, and many integral field spectrographs, equipped with Integral Field Units (IFU), have been developed in the past few years or are planned for the future. The demand for these instru ...

High-Resolution Solar Physics Network (SOLARNET)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 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)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 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 ...

The Star Formation and Enrichment Histories of Galaxies (SFEHG)

Start date: Apr 1, 2012, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

"Understanding the formation and evolution of galaxies is one of the big challenges and opportunities in astronomy today. One of the main pathways to pick up this challenge is to study in detail the stellar populations in galaxies in the local universe. Two questions we would particularly like to answer but cannot at the present time are:1) How old is the oldest significant population of stars in ...

ARCHES : Astronomical Resource Cross-matching for High Energy Studies (ARCHES)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

"ARCHES will focus on the X-ray survey catalogue data from the XMM-Newton mission. New tools will be developed for cross-correlation with extensive archival resources, producing well-characterised multi-wavelength data in the form of spectral energy distributions for large sets of objects. These enhanced resources will significantly broaden the effective exploitation of the data by the scientific ...

Data Services and Analysis Tools for Solar Energetic Particle Events and Related Electromagnetic Emissions (SEPServer)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

The SEPServer project will address the topic SPA.2010.2.1-03, Exploitation of space science and exploration data, of the call FP7-SPACE-2010-1. Through its impact, the project may also support other projects funded through the topic SPA.2010.2.3-01, Security of space assets from space weather events.The main objective of the SEPServer project is to produce a new tool, which greatly facilitates the ...
