    Un mapa para recuperar la noche

    La Universidad de las Palmas de Gran Canaria y el Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias han desarrollado un método para calibrar imágenes nocturnas de satélites a partir de medidas de redes de fotómetros nocturnos. El trabajo, financiado por el proyecto Interreg EELabs, está orientado a evaluar de forma más precisa la contaminación lumínica y su impacto en los ecosistemas naturales de la Macaronesia. Los datos están a disposición de la comunidad científica a través del portal del proyecto. Desde su inicio en 2020, el proyecto Interreg EELabs ha desplegado más de un centenar de sensores en las

    Massive pulsating star provides clues to calibrate stellar evolution models

    An international collaboration, with the participation of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), determines with an unprecedented level of precision the mass, age and rotation profile of the core of a massive pulsating star. Known as HD 192575, it has been observed by the NASA space telescope TESS continuously for more than a year. The results shed new light on how such stars are internally structured and how they evolve until their death, when they explode as supernovae and form neutron stars and black holes. The scientific team has also used observations made with the Mercator

    IACNet DNS Firewall Protection Service

    The IAC has implemented this protection feature using a service provided by RedIRIS, called DNS Firewall. Through this service, all queries that pass through our DNS servers will pass through the enabled filters, which will guarantee safer access and avoid possible threats. Most legitimate and non-legitimate communication begins with a DNS query that obtains the IP address of an online resource or service. The primary purpose of a DNS firewall is to monitor DNS traffic to provide protection for: Block user access to malicious websites. Prevent phishing attacks. Block communications from
