The multimessenger astrophysics group (MAP) was founded at the Institute of Space Sciences (ICE, CSIC) by D. F. Torres in 2006. The group's aim is doing frontier research in high-energy astrophysics from a multifrequency and multiparticle perspective. The group focuses on compact objects -especially the physical understanding of pulsars, their classes, emission, wind nebulae, progenitors, and environments, cosmic rays and their connection with star formation, and relativistic systems in our Galaxy.
