Las Jornadas de Puertas Abiertas 2017 del Observatorio del Teide (Izaña, Tenerife), celebradas el pasado viernes 23 y sábado 24 de junio, tuvieron una afluencia de más de 1.600 visitantes.

Desde las 10 a las 15 h, los asistentes pudieron visitar algunos de los telescopios con los que cuenta el complejo astrofísico, como el IAC-80, la Pirámide Solar, la Estación Óptica Terrestre (OGS), el Experimento QUIJOTE, el Telescopio VTT, THEMIS y la cúpula de divulgación. Unos 50 astrónomos voluntarios realizaron visitas guiadas a las instalaciones, talleres divulgativos y observaciones en directo del Sol.

Estas jornadas, organizadas por el Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), tienen el objetivo de acercar la ciencia y los conocimientos astronómicos a la sociedad, especialmente a la población tinerfeña que conviven con estas instalaciones telescópicas desde hace más de 30 años.

    Blue Supergiants observed in detail

    Researchers at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the University of La Laguna (ULL), publish today in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics the first results of a detailed study of nearly a thousand blue supergiants in the Milky Way. This is the biggest sample of stars of this type which has been studied until now. The study has used over 15 years of high quality observations taken mainly with the NOT and Mercator telescopes at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory in La Palma. The analysis of these data will allow researchers to improve their knowledge of the evolution of

    Astronomers make a significant advance in our knowledge of the asteroids nearest to the Earth, the Arjunas

    Research, in which the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias has participated has analyzed object 2023 FY3, a member of a group of asteroids which have trajectories similar to that of the Earth. The available data suggest that it could collide with the Earth during the next hundred years, but its small size implies that it is not a major threat The study of the physical characteristics and the dynamical evolution of object 2023 FY3, in which the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) have participated, enhances our limited knowledge about the
