The European Marie Curie Initial Training Network DAGAL ("Detailed Anatomy of Galaxies") (dagalnetwork.eu), financed by the 7th Framework Programme of Research and Technological Development of the European Union and coordinated by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) under the leadership of Johan Knapen, will have its final meeting in Toledo during the conference on "Formation and Evolution of Galaxy Outskirts". The conference, organized by the Complutense University of Madrid, with patronage by the IAC, and under the auspices of the International Astronomical Union (IAU), will be held between 14th and 18th March, 2016 in Toledo, a World Heritage City.

The objective of the conference is to bring together different strands of knowledge about the formation and evolution of the outermost reaches of galaxies, from local objects to the most distant galaxies in the universe, making use of the most powerful telescopes and of state of the art simulations. It is a newish and demanding field which demands a great deal of the newest infrastructures, which should ensure the interest of companies and of the general public.

The deadline for paying inscriptions and for requests to give talks will be on 18th December.

    Euclid release its first images: the dazzling edge of darkness

    ESA’s Euclid space mission reveals its first full-colour images of the cosmos. Never before has a telescope been able to create such razor-sharp astronomical images across such a large patch of the sky, and looking so far into the distant Universe. These images illustrate the telescope's potential to create the largest and most accurate 3D map of the Universe to date. The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has led one of the first five Euclid Early Release Objects (ERO) programmes. 95% of our cosmos appears to be made of these mysterious ‘dark’ entities But we don’t understand what

    Astronomers find Earth-sized world potentially covered in volcanoes

    An international research, with the participation of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), has discovered an Earth-size exoplanet that may be carpeted with volcanoes. Called LP 791-18 d, the planet could undergo volcanic outbursts as often as Jupiter’s moon Io, the most volcanically active body in our solar system. The study is published in the scientific journal Nature. LP 791-18 d orbits a small red dwarf star about 90 light-years away in the southern constellation Crater. The team estimates it’s only slightly larger and more massive than Earth. Astronomers already knew about two
