Hunting for VIPERS red nuggets - traces of the past
Vimos Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS) is a spectroscopic survey designed to investigate the spatial distribution of ~90k galaxies on redshift 0.4...
IAC doctoral students tackle galactic archaeology and research into ‘other worlds’ at the Museum of Science and the Cosmos
The Museum of Science and the Cosmos (MCC), part of the Autonomous Organization of Museums and Centers of the Cabildo of Tenerife, will host the second session...
There are galaxies that remain untouched since the ancient Universe. These unique objects, the so-called relic galaxies, are several times more massive than our...
Spectroscopic analysis of stellar populations is widely used to understand the history of many systems including globular clusters, nuclear star clusters, dwarf...
International conference at the IAC explores the mysteries of the early universe
The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) organised the international conference From Fake News to Real Clusters: The Controversial Fate of High-z Galaxy...
Introduction of new postdocs. (1) Stellar magnetic fields, (2) My humble efforts to understand galaxy formation and evolution, (3) Waiting for Herschel: my perspective
(1) Stellar magnetic fields. Spectro-polarimetry is a very powerful tool to diagnose magnetic fields in a large variety of astrophysical objects. My research...
Is the riddle of the astronomical Li origin solved?
Lithium is a key element which plays an important role in astronomy as well as everyday human life. Nevertheless it is probably the only element whose...
JWST view of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and dust in local active galaxies
Nowadays, it is widely accepted that most galaxies undergo an active phase in their evolution. The impact of the energy released by active galactic nuclei (AGN)...
JWST/NIRCam Narrowband Survey of Paβ Emitters in the Spiderweb Protocluster at z = 2.16
We report the initial result of our Paβ narrowband imaging on a protocluster with the JWST Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam). As NIRCam enables deep narrowband...
