An international scientific team, including members of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), has launched an ambitious program to map exoplanets located around the Neptunian Desert —a region around stars where planets the size of Neptune are very rare— in order to better understand the mechanisms of planetary system evolution and formation. This scientific expedition has delivered its first results with the observation of the TOI-421 planetary system. Analysis of this system reveals a surprisingly inclined orbital architecture, offering new insights into the chaotic history ofAdvertised on -
The new infrared spectrograph NIRPS, built with the participation of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and installed on the 3.6-metre telescope at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile, has achieved its first scientific results, with four articles published today in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics and one more accepted for publication. The data confirm its ability to detect Earth-like planets in the infrared for the first time with a precision better than one metre per second. One of the papers, led by IAC researcher Alejandro Suárez Mascareño, confirms the presence of aAdvertised on -
El proyecto educativo “CosmoLab: del aula al Sistema Solar”, desarrollado por el Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) y financiado principalmente por el Cabildo de Tenerife, anuncia la apertura de matrícula del nuevo curso “CosmoViaje 2.0: lo que sabemos e ignoramos del Universo” en colaboración con la Consejería de Educación del Gobierno de Canarias. Esta iniciativa busca acercar la astronomía a toda la comunidad educativa de Tenerife y fomentar el conocimiento y disfrute de los excepcionales cielos y observatorios de Canarias.
