La ministra de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades, Diana Morant, ha anunciado que el Gobierno de España está dispuesto a ofrecer hasta 400 millones de euros, a través del Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico y la Innovación (CDTI), para atraer a la isla de La Palma, en Canarias, el Telescopio de Treinta Metros (TMT, por sus siglas en inglés). La ministra lo ha anunciado durante la reunión del Consejo Rector del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), que ha presidido hoy en La Palma, donde ha informado que esta tarde ha remitido una propuesta formal a la Fundación que gestiona el TMT

The EU-funded EDUCADO project (Exploring the Deep Universe by Computational Analysis of Data from Observations) at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) is organising a two-night astronomical observation school providing hands-on research training for early-stage researchers in astronomy and computer science. The program will convene 15 doctoral candidates from across Europe for an immersive, interdisciplinary learning experience. Attendees will engage in night time astronomical observations utilizing state-of-the-art telescopic instrumentation, guided data analysis workshops, and

A study conducted with the new WEAVE , installed on the Telescopio William Herschel (WHT) at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (La Palma), and in whose construction the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) participated, has revealed clear signs of shock interaction in the Type II supernova SN 2023ixf. Almost a year after the explosion, the data obtained with WEAVE reveal complex emission features that provide new clues about the processes shaping the final stages of massive star evolution. SN 2023ixf, located in the nearby galaxy M101, is the closest Type II supernova
