La óptica adaptativa de GTC está en su fase final de integración y verificación. El primer instrumento que se tiene previsto utilizar es FRIDA que puede tener...
Detection of TiO and Na in the atmosphere of the hot Jupiter HAT-P-65b
We present the low-resolution transmission spectra of the puffy hot Jupiter HAT-P-65b (0.53 MJup, 1.89 RJup, Teq = 1930 K), based on two transits observed using...
Development of acquisition systems based on FPGAs. Applications to QUIJOTE MFI2, TMS, and MKIDs. Participation study in the Litebird satellite
The main objective of this proposal is to provide the instrumentation area of the IAC with the necessary experience to develop and program data acquisition...
DIEGO BLAS: “We are in a golden period when the connection between theory and observations is increasingly necessary"
The gravitational force needed for the universe to evolve from when it was almost uniform, during the Big Bang, until galaxies, stars, and planets were formed...
Differences between the discs of active and non-active galaxies detected for the first time
A study led by researchers at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), making comparison between the discs of several pairs of spiral galaxies, active...
Dimitri Gadotti: “Not seeing the complexity of everything that can alter the life of a galaxy sometimes leads to misconceptions”
“With TIMER we could demonstrate a very beautiful idea: If we measure the ages of the stars that were born in the bar via the secular evolution processes, we...
A rich phenomenology of jets, winds, and accretion states has been observed in both active galactic nuclei (AGN) and X-ray binaries (XRBs), suggesting a...
Discovered: the most distant barred spiral galaxy (until now)
An international team of scientists, with participation by researchers at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the University of La Laguna (ULL)...
Discovery of a super-Earth near to the habitable zone of a cool star
An international team led by researchers from the IAC, using the radial velocity method, have discovered a possibly rocky planet at the edge of the habitable...
