    ¿Cómo mueren las galaxias? La respuesta en la nueva edición del programa Soñando estrellas en La Radio Canaria
    El programa de divulgación científica del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) en La Radio Canaria, "Soñando Estrellas", emitirá su próximo episodio, este viernes, 28 de noviembre, a las 22:30 horas. El espacio, de 30 minutos de duración, está dirigido y presentado por Verónica Martín, jefa de la Unidad de Comunicación y Cultura Científica (UC3) del IAC. En este episodio la investigadora del IAC, Cristina Ramos Almeida, responderá a la pregunta de cómo nacen y crecen las galaxias y, especialmente, a cómo mueren. La investigadora, que recientemente recibió el Premio Mujer Tenías que Ser

    The IAC participates in the study of an unusual merger of two dwarf galaxies in a cosmic void environment
    An international team of researchers, including researchers from the IAC, have studied in detail a remarkable couple of dwarf galaxies “dancing with each other” inside an unpopulated area of the Universe. This uncommon pair of low-mass galaxies merging “in the middle of nowhere”, near the center of a cosmic void, offers a unique view of one-on-one interactions and of the evolution of galaxies located in very low density environments. Researchers from the Calar Alto Void Integral-field Treasury surveY (CAVITY) project, led by the University of Granada, have discovered a rare and ongoing

    A team with the participation of the IAC and the ULL discovers that massive stars prefer to live in pairs even in galaxies with low metallicity
    Massive stars in metal-poor galaxies often have close partners, just like the massive stars in our metal-rich Milky Way. This has been discovered by an international scientific team in which research staff from the Instituto de Aastrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the Universidad de La Laguna (ULL) participate. They used the European Very Large Telescope in Chile to monitor the velocity of massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The research is published in Nature Astronomy . For the past twenty years, astronomers have known that many massive stars in the metal-rich Milky Way have a
