OUR TOP STORY:

Eppur Si Muove: the KABKE bulk flow

In brief: we have detected a large scale flow encompassing a sphere larger than 300 Mpc. The flow has similar amplitude and direction than the peculiar velocity vector derived from the CMB dipole. Check the latest at this web site, or type Dark Flow in the english version of Wikipedia , go directly to the dark flow entry or check here to know what is all the FUZZ about.

Local
The local governement Junta de Castilla y Leon provides funding on competitive basis for innovative research projects. Our group has been consistently suscesfull at obtaining funding from local sources. Currently, the General Relativity and Cosmology Group has been awarded an Excellency Research Project.

International
I am currently holding an Astronomy Data Programm funded by NASA on a competitive basis. The project aims to measure the bulk velocity flow.
