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 -
El Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) conmemora el primer aniversario del fallecimiento de su director fundador, el profesor Francisco Sánchez Martínez, quien con su tesón logró crear uno de los centros de investigación más punteros de Europa y dos de los mejores observatorios astrofísicos del mundo: el Observatorio del Teide, en Tenerife, y el Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos, en La Palma. Transcurrido un año desde su pérdida en Madrid a los 89 años de edad, la dirección del centro y la familia del IAC rinden tributo a la memoria del pionero que abrió camino a la astrofísicaAdvertised on -
The international BEARD project, led from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the University of La Laguna (ULL), has used data from several telescopes at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, and computer simulations to explain how galaxies similar to the Milky Way have managed to survive the most violent stages of the history of the Universe. The present model for the evolution of the universe predicts an epoch dominated by important mergers of galaxies some ten thousand million years ago. “It’s a case of violent interactions, in which it is foreseeable that weak structuresAdvertised on
