El Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) sigue afianzando su liderazgo investigador y de atracción de talento científico con el programa “ Investigadores Visitantes” de Fundación Occident. En este recién terminado año 2024, el programa cumple una década ininterrumpida de trabajo atrayendo a decenas de personas investigadoras cada año que han realizado estancias, de mínimo un mes y hasta tres meses, en el IAC. El programa permite que el personal investigador invitado comparta espacio y trabajo con miembros de los distintos grupos de investigación establecidos en el IAC, de forma que el

Gravity has shaped our cosmos. Its attractive influence turned tiny differences in the amount of matter present in the early universe into the sprawling strands of galaxies we see today. A new study using data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has traced how this cosmic structure grew over the past 11 billion years, providing the most precise test to date of gravity at very large scales. DESI is an international collaboration of more than 900 researchers, included the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), from over 70 institutions around the world and is managed by

The robotic Transient Survey Telescope (TST) installed in the Teide Observatory of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has successfully started its scientific observations. It is a 1 metre telescope which permits the detection of rapidly varying objects, and is set up to map the sky. The TST has been built and run via a public-private collaboration with Canary funding. The Transient Survey Telescope (TST) is a telescope with a 1 metre primary mirror, built to take long-term observations called surveys, for the detection of faint, rapidly varying objects over a wide area of the sky
