The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the University of La Laguna are leading an international study on dark galaxies. ULL PhD student Guacimara García Bethencourt, together with her thesis supervisors Arianna Di Cintio and Sébastien Comerón, both lecturers in the Department of Astrophysics at the ULL and researchers at the IAC, presents a pioneering study in Astronomy & Astrophysics on one of the most intriguing objects in modern astrophysics: dark galaxies, systems rich in gas and dark matter but incapable of forming stars, and therefore invisible to traditional telescopesAdvertised on -

One of the biggest recent surprises in astronomy is the discovery that most stars like the Sun harbor a planet between the size of Earth and Neptune within the orbit of Mercury — sizes and orbits absent from our solar system. These ‘ super-Earths' and ` sub-Neptunes’ are the galaxy's most common planets, but their formation has been shrouded in mystery. Now, an international team of astronomers has found a crucial missing link. By weighing four newborn planets in the V1298 Tau system, they've captured a rare snapshot of worlds in the process of transforming into the galaxy's most commonAdvertised on
