We are a group of scientists working at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía, a research centre of the Spanish Research Centre (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas, CSIC). Our main research line is the study of the atmospheres of the planets of the Solar System under non-LTE conditions. We focalize our studies in the atmospheres of the Earth, Mars, Venus, Titan, and more recently, the exo-atmospheres. We have several collaborations with other research groups and institutions, working with data coming from international satellite missions.

CAIRT, an Earth Explorer 11 candidate mission in which GAPT is involved, has been selected by the European Space Agency as one of the two...
This project aims at two principal technical and scientific objectives related to the European mission Exomars Trace Gas Orbiter, in its fourth year of regular science operations from its orbit around Mars. First, an accurate analysis and inversion of very unique measurements by the instruments NOMAD and ACS, taken in a solar occultation geometry on board TGO; and secondly, an ambitious scientific exploitation plan of these data. We envision this last goal from two different angles, which comprise two major goals of the project.
SPACES is mainly dedicated to carrying out scientific studies leading to demonstrate the suitability of the CAIRT mission to meet its scientific goals and to generate scientific and societal impact. CAIRT is one of the four space mission candidates of the 11th Earth Explorer (EE11) of ESA that will observe simultaneously from the middle troposphere to the lower thermosphere at high spectral resolution and with unprecedented horizontal and vertical resolution.
