Astrophysical research in the Canaries — •Sabine Thater — Leibniz-Institut für Astrophysik Potsdam

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) is an astrophysical research centre located in the Canaries. It is divided into two headquarters and two observatories, the Instituto de Astrofísica/Observatorio del Teide in Tenerife, and the Centre for Astrophysics/Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos in La Palma. The IAC Research Programme includes a number of astrophysical research and technological development projects including structure of the universe and cosmology, local universe, star formation and ISM, solar physics and even an instrumentation part.

Every year, the IAC gives a number of grants for astrophysical research and for technological development. As 'Becaria der Verano' I would like to give you an overview of the astrophysical life in the IAC.
