This morning, Elsa López visited the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) headquarters, in La Laguna, accompained by researchers and engineers of the centre. The writer, born in La Palma, who collaborated on the project "En un lugar del Universo..." to mark the fourth centenary of the death of Cervantes, was enthusiastic about this visit, that values as "very inspiring". "I'm surprised to see a multidisciplinary team of people working to convert words and figures into the information that will allow us to understand how the Universe works." Her visit to the Teide Observatory, scheduled for this afternoon that has had to be canceled due to bad weather conditions, will be held soon.

Tomorrow, Tuesday at 10 am, Elsa will visit the Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos, of Museos de Tenerife.

    Astronomers study the magnetic chaos of galaxies in the nearby Universe

    International research, with the participation of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), reveals that perturbations in the magnetic fields of galaxies may be related to star formation. The study has mapped the magnetic fields of about fifteen galaxies in the vicinity of the Milky Way. The data were obtained with the HAWC+ instrument on board SOFIA, an airborne infrared telescope on a Boeing 747 that was operational until September 2022. The results are published in The Astrophysical Journal. For decades, astronomers have studied the forces that govern the interior of galaxies -

    Astronomers find the key for detecting the largest structures in the early universe

    An international research team, led from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the University of La Laguna (ULL) together with a group of Italian universities, has confirmed a new method for finding protoclusters of galaxies, the largest structures in the early universe. These progenitors of present-day clusters of galaxies played an essential role in the evolution of the universe, but are not easy to find. This study shows that a specific type of galaxies, those which emit radiation at submillimetre wavelengths, are very good indicators of the presence of distant protoclusters
