    Bulgeless Evolution And the Rise of Discs (BEARD): I. Physical drivers of the mass-size relation for Milky Way-like galaxies
    In the standard Lambda cold dark matter (Lambda-CDM) cosmology, galaxies grow by gradually accreting material and through mergers with other galaxies. This scenario successfully explains many large-scale cosmic structures, yet it struggles to account for the existence of numerous massive spiral galaxies in the local Universe that lack a prominent central bulge, pure disc systems, in the local Universe. Understanding how these galaxies form and survive is also essential for placing our own Galaxy, the Milky Way, into context, as it also hosts a low-mass bulge. In this study, we analyse 22

    IAC research reveals hidden structures and a turbulent past in one of the largest spiral galaxies in the Universe
    Astronomers at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), using the 2-meter robotic Two-meter Twin Telescope (TTT) at the Teide Observatory, have obtained the deepest optical images ever taken of Malin 2, one of the largest and faintest spiral galaxies in the Universe. These ultra-deep observations have revealed previously unseen structures, including several diffuse stellar emissions and a striking, elongated spiral-like feature, hinting at past interactions with other galaxies. The team has also identified a potential ultra-diffuse dwarf galaxy (UDG) about 400,000 light-years from

    The IAC secures a prestigious ERC Advanced Grant to study the evolution of Sun-like stars
    The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has been awarded a new ERC Advanced Grant by the European Research Council (ERC) for the MELODY project, led by researcher Savita Mathur. This grant, one of the most prestigious and competitive in European science, supports established researchers with outstanding track records and highly innovative proposals, with the aim of promoting frontier research capable of opening up new avenues of knowledge. MELODY’s main objective is to study the rotation and magnetic activity of Sun-like stars in order to understand in greater detail the physical
