The international SDSS-III collaboration, in which the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) is a participant, publishes observations of 60 000 stars in our Galaxy.
An international research, in which the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has played a leading role, has found a planet of intermediate size between Earth and Venus orbiting a cool red dwarf 40 light-years away. The new world, named Gliese 12 b, lies within the habitable zone of its star, making it a promising candidate for the James Webb Space Telescope to study its atmosphere. The discovery was made possible thanks to observations from NASA's TESS satellite and other facilities such as CARMENES, at Calar Alto Observatory (CAHA), and MuSCAT2, installed at the Carlos Sánchez
El Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) fue pionero en la implementación de políticas de Igualdad con la creación, en 2008, de una comisión específica El Instituto de Astrofísica de Catarís (IAC) reivindica este 8 de Marzo el papel de las instituciones científicas como locomotora de los cambios sociales y demuestra su compromiso con la Igualdad. El IAC fue pionero en la implementación de políticas de Igualdad, adelantándose a las medidas obligatorias por las distintas leyes. Los primeros pasos en materia de iniciativas orientadas a la igualdad de género se iniciaron en 2008 con la
An international collaboration, with the participation of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), determines with an unprecedented level of precision the mass, age and rotation profile of the core of a massive pulsating star. Known as HD 192575, it has been observed by the NASA space telescope TESS continuously for more than a year. The results shed new light on how such stars are internally structured and how they evolve until their death, when they explode as supernovae and form neutron stars and black holes. The scientific team has also used observations made with the Mercator
