El Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades ha anunciado hoy la concesión del Premio Nacional de Investigación en Ciencias Físicas, Ciencias de los Materiales y de la Tierra a Rafael Rebolo López, profesor de Investigación del CSIC, actual director del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias e investigador con una larga trayectoria en el centro. Este es uno de los reconocimientos más importantes de España en el ámbito de la investigación científica.

This astronomical event will be visible from both northern and southern hemispheres, and the peak of its activity will be during the nights of Thursday 13th and Friday 14th December. During the second night there will be a direct broadcats from the Teide Observatory (Tenerife) thanks to the collaboration of the European project STAR4ALL.

Ayer se celebró una de las dos reuniones anuales del Comité Científico Internacional de los Observatorios de Canarias, formado por representantes de las instituciones que operan en las cumbres de La Palma y Tenerife.

The CLASP suborbital rocket experiment, motivated by theoretical investigations carried out at the IAC, provided unprecedented observations of the polarization of the solar ultraviolet radiation. The theoretical modeling of these pioneering observations has revealed that the enigmatic chromosphere-corona transition region is extremely corrugated, with a geometry much more complex than in today’s most advanced models.

After the first “European Workshop on Technology and Knowledge Generated by Astrophysics” the director of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) Rafael Rebolo repeated his aim of continuing to work to transfer advances to society as a whole.
