Almost all massive stars explode as supernovae and form a black hole or neutron star. The remnant mass and the impact of the chemical yield on subsequent star...
LST-1 and MAGIC Telescopes Shatter Distance Record for the Very High-Energy Blazar OP 313
On 11 August, the CTAO LST Collaboration and the MAGIC Collaboration released remarkable findings from observations of OP 313, the most distant very high-energy...
MAGIC telescopes detect the first gamma-rays burst at very high energies
This ground-breaking achievement by MAGIC provides critical new insight for understanding the physical processes at work in the most powerful cosmic explosions...
The prestigious journal Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics invites two researchers from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) to publish an...
Magnetic turbulence hidden in the Whirlpool Galaxy
There is a force hidden deep inside galaxies: magnetic fields. Invisible to conventional telescopes, they are a factor in galaxy evolution, regulating the...
It has taken researchers at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias almost three years to produce the deepest image of the Universe ever taken from space, by...
Mapping solar magnetic fields from the photosphere to the corona
The solar chromosphere is the region between the relatively thin and cold photosphere (temperature of a few thousand degrees) and the hot and extended corona...
Mapping the hidden magnetic field of the quiet Sun
The Sun is the only star where we can resolve the intricate magnetism that all convective stars harbor. Yet, more than 99% of its visible surface along the...
Massive collision in the planetary system Kepler 107
Recently, astrophysicists have studied the configuration of a planetary system (Kepler 107) discovered with the NASA Kepler mission, which was looking for...
