The determination of a body position, velocity and attitude is the purpose of the navigation techniques. The most extended navigation systems (INS/GNSS), as any other HW and SW system, provide precise and accurate enough ...
The research of this paper-based dissertation is focused on the Fast Precise Point Positioning (Fast-PPP) technique. The novelty relies on using an accurate ionosphere model, in combination with the standard precise satellite ...
(English) This document presents the collection of four manuscripts published during my Doctoral academic formation, which main goal has been the real-time implementation of tools to monitor the ionosphere using Global ...
Due to the rich dynamic properties of the equilibria of the Restricted Three Body Problem (RTBP), the libration point orbits (LPOs) around them are ideal locations for scientific missions. Fortunately, these invariant ...
Planetary nebulae play a very important role in the chemical evolution of galaxies since they are responsible for returning nuclear-processed material to the interstellar medium. Observations of planetary nebulae are used ...
The research of this paper-based dissertation is focused on Global Ionospheric Maps (GIM) generation and assessment. In summary, the novelty and thematic unity in this works relies on four different but complementary topics: ...
Computational simulation is one of the basic techniques of modern Astrophysics. The long-term time astrophysical processes cannot be treated with explicit approaches because that they are limited, in their maximum time ...
Core-collapse supernovae (CC-SNe) explosions represent the final demise of massive stars. Among the various types, there is a group of relatively infrequent CC-SNe termed type IIb, which appear to be hybrids between normal ...
(English) Hybrid or multi-sensor-based positioning has been a research topic actively investigated in the last decade. In this context, the possibility of using information extracted from imaging sensors, for positioning, ...
The growth in traffic increased the pressure on the environmental sustainability of air transport. In this context, many research effort has been devoted to minimise the environmental impact in the different phases of ...
Algorithms (EA) are useful optimization methods for exploration of the search space, but they usually have slowness problems to exploit and converge to the minimum with accuracy. On the other hand, gradient based methods ...
As the evolutionary end-point of most main-sequence stars, white dwarfs can be used to infer important properties concerning the formation and evolution of the different Galactic stellar populations. Population synthesis ...
The LISA Pathfinder project is an ESA/NASA technology demonstrator mission that must test the critical instrumentation required for a future space-borne gravitational wave observatory based on the LISA design. The satellite, ...
(English) Classical and Recurrent novae are thermonuclear explosions hosted by accreting white dwarfs in stellar binary systems. Material piles up on top of the white dwarf star under mildly degenerate conditions, driving ...
