Durante tres días, especialistas en física de partículas, astrofísica, cosmología, neutrinos, rayos gamma y simulaciones compartieron en Tenerife los últimos avances para descifrar uno de los mayores enigmas del Universo. El Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) acogió la semana pasada, del 17 al 19 de junio, el 23rd MultiDark Meeting, un encuentro científico que reunió a especialistas de distintos centros de investigación españoles para abordar una de las grandes preguntas abiertas de la física contemporánea: ¿de qué está hecha la materia oscura? El congreso fue organizado por la líneaAdvertised on -
The smallest galaxies in the cosmos are emerging as one of the greatest challenges for modern astrophysics. A team of researchers from the Universidad de La Laguna and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) is studying these tiny systems to understand why they do not always match the predictions of the standard cosmological model. The work is carried out within the framework of the INGENIO project, funded by the Agencia Estatal de Investigación (AEI), which uses advanced cosmological simulations to reconstruct the galactic environment closest to the Milky Way and explore physicalAdvertised on -
Massive stars in metal-poor galaxies often have close partners, just like the massive stars in our metal-rich Milky Way. This has been discovered by an international scientific team in which research staff from the Instituto de Aastrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the Universidad de La Laguna (ULL) participate. They used the European Very Large Telescope in Chile to monitor the velocity of massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The research is published in Nature Astronomy . For the past twenty years, astronomers have known that many massive stars in the metal-rich Milky Way have aAdvertised on
