The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) welcomed the visit of Professor Didier Queloz, Nobel Laureate in Physics and co-discoverer of the first exoplanet orbiting a Sun-like star. Professor Queloz's stay at the IAC has focused on instrumental development and technological collaboration. As part of his agenda, he also gave a lecture entitled ‘Exoplanets: the next frontier’ in the IAC Lecture Hall. The researcher visited the IAC to supervise the installation of a new high-stability spectrograph on the Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La PalmaAdvertised 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 -
As part of Open Government Week, which is being held from 19 to 25 May, the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has organised open days at its facilities in La Laguna (Tenerife) to bring its research and technological activity closer to the public. This international initiative aims to promote the values of transparency, citizen participation and accountability in public administrations. The visits, in which dozens of people took part in different shifts, were held on Monday 19 May at the IAC headquarters and on Tuesday 20 May at the IACTEC building, the Institute's technological andAdvertised on
