An international collaboration of astronomers led by the Universidad de La Laguna (ULL) and Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has identified two intriguing, humongous but light planets orbit ing HD 114082. This star is only 15 million years old, this is, much younger than the Sun (4.6 billion years old) , spin s 15 times faster , has 28% more mass , and is about one thousand degrees hotter and almost four times more luminous. Its planets receive about 200 times more light and heat than Jupiter. The study, which involved separating the faint planetary signal from the stellar oneAdvertised on -
The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) continues to make progress in the construction of the SELF (Small ExoLife Finder) telescope with the arrival of its mechanical structure at the IACTec facilities. The structure, shipped from the Basque Country, marks a new milestone in the development of this scientific and technological project. The assembly has been received at the IACTec Building, located in the Las Mantecas Science and Technology Park (La Laguna, Santa Cruz de Tenerife), a strategic site dedicated to the design, integration and validation of advanced astronomicalAdvertised on
