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
Statement supporting the selection of La Palma for the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) site: The Comité Científico Internacional (CCI) of the Canary Islands Observatories enthusiastically welcomes the possibility that the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) may ultimately choose the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (ORM) on La Palma as its site. The ORM offers outstanding astronomical conditions, decades of successful international cooperation in operating telescopes, and a robust legal framework protecting its dark skies. At its meeting on 27 November 2025 on the island of La Palma, the CCI
El ciclo de charlas divulgativas " Del Cielo a la Tesis", impulsado por el estudiantado predoctoral del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) y la Universidad de La Laguna (ULL) para acercar la investigación astrofísica a la ciudadanía, celebrará una nueva sesión el próximo jueves 21 de mayo a las 17:00 horas en el Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos, del Organismo Autónomo de Museos y Centros del Cabildo de Tenerife. La jornada volverá a contar con el formato habitual de dos charlas divulgativas de 30 minutos cada una, en las que el público podrá descubrir, por un lado, cómo se estudia la
