    The IAC strengthens its commitment to Equality
    The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) is strengthening its commitment to Equality and, to coincide with the commemoration of March 8th, International Women’s Day, is presenting its IV Plan for Equality. This document covers the active work within the IAC to support Equality and Fairness in the working and institutional environment, and proposes specific measures to ensure that both of these aims are achieved. The IAC has pioneered the introduction of policies of Equality in the field of science in Spain. Even before the approval of the Organic Law 3/2007 for the effective equality

    Signs of 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' star formation in low-surface-brightness globular-cluster-rich dwarf galaxies
    Ultra-diffuse galaxies, an extreme type of dwarf galaxy, have been the focus of extensive observational and theoretical studies over the past decade. With stellar masses comparable to dwarf galaxies (between 10 7 and 10 9 solar masses) but much larger in size (as defined by their effective radius), they exhibit an extremely low surface brightness. These galaxies display highly diverse properties: some have large dark matter halos, others lack them, and their number of globular clusters varies widely. Studies of their kinematics and stellar populations have shown that these extreme galaxies

    International conference at the IAC explores the mysteries of the early universe
    The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) organised the international conference From Fake News to Real Clusters: The Controversial Fate of High-z Galaxy Protoclusters, which was held at the IACTEC building of the Las Mantecas Technology Park in La Laguna (Tenerife, Spain) from 13 to 16 May 2025. This meeting brought together around 30 researchers dedicated to the study of protoclusters and large-scale structures in the early stages of the universe. The event focused on the latest findings from multi-frequency observations and advanced modelling techniques, with a special focus on
