An international team composed of Drs. Sylvain G. Korzennik, from the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian , and Antonio Eff-Darwich Peña, from the University of La Laguna and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, has published a pioneering study aimed at improving our understanding of the Sun’s internal structure. The work, published in The Astrophysical Journal , stands out for its use of exceptionally long helioseismic time series, exceeding twenty-five years of continuous observations, to analyze the deepest layers of the Sun. Helioseismology is the study of patterns of

The Canary Islands Institute of Astrophysics (IAC) is organising the 37th Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics, which will take place in San Cristóbal de La Laguna (Tenerife) from 16 to 27 November 2026. This edition will focus on the study of massive stars as tools for understanding processes ranging from star formation to gravitational wave events and core-collapse supernovae. The training programme is aimed at around 75 students on advanced master’s and doctoral programmes, as well as postdoctoral researchers in the early stages of their careers. Over the course of two weeks

Thanks to the NIRPS infrared spectrograph, built with the involvement of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias , an international team led by the University of Geneva has been able to identify the unique orbit of the exoplanet GJ 3090 b. An international team, led by the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and including researchers from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), has determined the orbital configuration of the exoplanet GJ 3090 b using the NIRPS spectrograph, built with the participation of the IAC and installed on the 3.6-metre telescope at the La Silla Observatory (ESO
