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 of the scientific outreach series “From the Sky to the Thesis” on Thursday, September 25, at 4:30 p.m. The series is organized in collaboration with the University of La Laguna (ULL) and the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC). The initiative, promoted by doctoral students from the IAC, seeks to bring the main topics of research in astrophysics closer to the public, told in the first person by those who develop them

An international team of scientists, including researchers from the Canary Islands Institute of Astrophysics (IAC), has confirmed the existence of three bodies orbiting the dynamic exoplanetary system TOI-201. They include a super-earth (TOI-201 d), a warm Jupiter (TOI-201 b) and a brown dwarf (TOI-201 c). The paper is published in Science Advances. “The goal was to characterize the TOI-201 planetary system to understand not just what planets are there, but how they interact with each other dynamically,” said Ismael Mireles, a PhD candidate in the UNM Department of Physics and Astronomy and
