The European Pulsar Timing Array (EPTA) is a multinational European collaboration whose aim is to increase the precision and quality of pulsar science results by combining the efforts and resources of the various member…

Historically, Astronomy is the first of the natural sciences with a profound impact in the development of new technologies in order to solve practical problems, such as the flow of time, as well as answer fundamental…

Knowing the strength and morphology of the galactic magnetic field lies at the heart of virtually all the outstanding problems in galactic astrophysics. If strong enough, the magnetic field can shape the interstellar…

The goal of XTREME, which is funded by the Hellenic Foundation for Research and Innovation is to perform a systematic multi-wavelength…

One of the most compelling mysteries in both cosmology and particle physics is the nature of Dark Matter (DM). We investigate this problem using…

IA-FORTH is a partner of the Total-Coverage Ultra-Fast Response to Binary Mergers Observatory (TURBO). 

The project, which commences in 2022, is funded by NSF (…

Neutron stars comprise the densest form of matter in the observable Universe. Their mass distribution contains crucial information about the late…

Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays are the most energetic particles known, with the highest-energy event ever observed at 3.2x10²⁰ eV, many orders of magnitude above the energy of protons accelerated at e.g. CERN. Their sources and their…

The goal of the proposed research, lead by Dr. Ioanna Leonidaki, is to perform a multi-wavelength study of the Galactic Supernova Remnant (SNR) population. SNRs in the Milky Way are an ideal…

RoboPol is a project aiming to elucidate the time evolution of the polarization of optical emission in blazars. Blazars are active galaxies power by supermassive black holes with relativistic…

This projects, coordinated by Prof. A. Zezas,  has as a goal to bring together the resources of an interdisciplinary collaboration network of leading groups in Astrophysics (FORTH, Universite de…

The Great Observatories All-sky LIRG Survey (GOALS), is combining imaging and spectroscopic data from NASA's Spitzer, Hubble, Chandra and GALEX space-borne observatories in a comprehensive study of over 200 of the most luminous infrared-selected…

The PASIPHAE (Polar-Areas Stellar-Imaging in Polarization High-Accuracy Experiment) project is a planned polarization survey of stars at high Galactic latitudes, aiming to clear the path towards the…
