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 ...

Exploitation of Space Data for Innovative Helio- and Asteroseismology (SPACEINN)

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

Planet Analysis and Small Transit Investigation Software (PASTIS)

Start date: Oct 1, 2014, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

"Detection and characterization of extrasolar low-mass planets are currently limited by several astrophysical and instrumental effects. New exoplanet-hunter instruments, with improved capabilities, are foreseen at the horizon 2016 - 2017. To find other Earths, new state-of-the-art instruments must be followed by the state-of-the-art of data analysis software that takes into account for the astroph ...

Sounding Stars with Kepler (ASK)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

The NASA space mission Kepler is providing continuous high-precision photometry of thousands of stars. The aim of Kepler is the discovery of Earth-size planets around stars similar to the Sun, and a thorough study of the continuum of planetary systems in the Universe.Because of their unprecedented precision, the Kepler data act as a precious source of information for various astrophysical studies ...

Detection of exo-Planets via High-Accuracy Radial-velocity spectrographic measurements with Adaptive Optics enHancement (PHARAOH)

Start date: Apr 1, 2013, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

"The PHARAOH project aims the detection of exo-Planets via High-Accuracy Radial-velocity spectrographic measurements with Adaptive Optics enHancement. The chief objective of this proposal is therefore to assess the impact of adaptive-optics (AO) correction on the detectability of Earth-like planets with a high-resolution, high-stability spectrograph on the future European Extremely Large Telescope ...

EXtra-solar planets and stellar astrophysics: towards the detection of Other Earths (EXOEarths)

Start date: Oct 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

The detection of more than 300 extrasolar planets orbiting other solar-like stars opened the window to a new field of astrophysics. Many projects to search for Earth-like planets are currently under way, using a huge battery of telescopes and instruments. New instrumentation is also being developed towards this goal for use in both ground- and space-based based facilities. Since planets come as an ...

Wide Field Studies of Star Forming Regions (SF-WF-MSF)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

"The UKIDSS survey and the upcoming VISTA surveys is/will produce unbiased wide field near-infrared observations that encompasses entire star forming regions. The same can be effectively combined with the Spitzer Space Telescope mid-infrared observations and the CO molecular line observations from the COMPLETE and millimeter continuum surveys from the SCUBA2 and HARP to conduct wide-field studies ...

SOS - Science on Screen (ScienceOnScreen)

Start date: May 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2011,

Everyday we are flooded with scientific terms: in the media, at the supermarket, at the pub with our friends. But who makes this science? And how is it done? How is a scientists’ everyday life? Who better to set things straight than scientists themselves?Using amusing but accurate real life stories, this proposal aims for the production of a television show, to be broadcast on the 23rd of Septembe ...

Setting a New Stage in Portugal: Researchers and the public come together through Arts and Sports (SettingTheStage II)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2010,

Continuing the SettingTheStage project organized in 2009, scientists will be called again on stage to celebrate the Researchers’ Night 2010 not only through performing arts (incl. theatre) but also through sports. These media will allow scientists to express themselves, their visions and their work. SettingTheStage II brings back together entities from four major cities across Portugal (North, Cen ...
