The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has started its development of DRAGO-3 , the third generation of its instrument: Demonstrator for Remote Analysis of Ground Observations (DRAGO), designed for Earth observation from space in the short wave infrared region of the spectrum (SWIR). This new instrument comes after the success of DRAGO-1 and DRAGO-2 , which have proved their utility in key applications such as following volcanic eruptions, hydrological monitoring of regions affected by climate change, and the control of forest fires. Both the previous models have shown theirAdvertised on -
An international team led by Cristina Ramos Almeida, a researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), has used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe five dust-obscured quasars — and the results offer new insights into how galaxies and their central supermassive black holes may evolve. The study is published today in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics . The energy released by supermassive black holes at the centres of galaxies is a fundamental ingredient in regulating the formation of new stars, and thus galaxy growth. This occurs during an active phase, usuallyAdvertised on
