Representantes de la Fundación Mujeres por África visitaron hoy la sede del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias en La Laguna, en un encuentro institucional centrado en el programa Ciencia por Mujeres , iniciativa que impulsa la investigación y el liderazgo científico femenino africano. El director del programa Ciencia por Mujeres, Juan Algar , la coordinadora del programa, María Almela , y la técnica de proyectos, Emma Garcia Taboadela , fueron recibidos por el director del IAC, Valentín Martínez Pillet , y por el coordinador de investigación del IAC, Jonay I. González Hernández . Durante
On August 12, coinciding with the total solar eclipse that will be visible across much of Spain, the Canary Islands Institute of Astrophysics (IAC)—a world leader in solar physics—will bring together leading scientists in Palencia. Most of them are affiliated with the NATE project, spearheaded by the institute, and they will conduct their work in front of the public in what is set to become one of the most significant scientific and educational events to take place in the country. Thus, starting on the 10th, talks and workshops will be held at various locations throughout the city of
Nuclear star clusters are dense and compact stellar systems, with sizes of a few parsecs, found at the centers of many galaxies. Their formation is thought to be closely connected to the assembly history of their host galaxies, and astronomers think that these clusters contain important clues about how galaxies formed and evolved over cosmic time. Recent studies suggest that different formation pathways may operate in late- and early-type galaxies, but the dominant mechanisms and their dependence on galaxy morphology remain unclear. While most observational studies have focused on early-type
