The multimessenger astrophysics group (MAP) was founded at the Institute of Space Sciences (ICE, CSIC) by D. F. Torres in 2006. The group 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 and their varied environments, cosmic rays, and the study of relativistic environments in our Galaxy and beyond.
