    IAC y ULL led the identification of the longest orbital period exoplanets among those transiting young stars
    An international collaboration of astronomers led by the Universidad de La Laguna (ULL) and Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has identified two intriguing, humongous but light planets orbit ing HD 114082. This star is only 15 million years old, this is, much younger than the Sun (4.6 billion years old) , spin s 15 times faster , has 28% more mass , and is about one thousand degrees hotter and almost four times more luminous. Its planets receive about 200 times more light and heat than Jupiter. The study, which involved separating the faint planetary signal from the stellar one

    Press release
    The IAC is involved in confirming the existence of an always-changing multi-planet system
    An international team of scientists, including researchers from the Canary Islands Institute of Astrophysics (IAC), has confirmed the existence of three bodies orbiting the dynamic exoplanetary system TOI-201. They include a super-earth (TOI-201 d), a warm Jupiter (TOI-201 b) and a brown dwarf (TOI-201 c). The paper is published in Science Advances. “The goal was to characterize the TOI-201 planetary system to understand not just what planets are there, but how they interact with each other dynamically,” said Ismael Mireles, a PhD candidate in the UNM Department of Physics and Astronomy and
