Our experience

GUAIX (Group of Extragalactic Astrophysics and Astronomical Instrumentation) was founded in 2007 with the idea of joining the efforts of the group of Star-Forming Galaxies (Dr. J. Zamorano and J. Gallego), the group of Elliptical Galaxies (Dr. J. Gorgas and N. Cardiel) and the group of Astronomical Instrumentation (Dr. J. Gallego and N. Cardiel). All the members of the group have 26 research periods (sexenios).
