The lecture will be given by the researcher from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and Titular Professor at the University of La Laguna (ULL), César Esteban, next Thursday, 12th December at 19:00 h in the Museum of Science and the Cosmos, of Museums of Tenerife, in the framework of the acts commemorating the V Centenary of the first Circumnavigation of the World . The first circumnavigation of the world was an epic which gave rise to the discovery of new territories, seas, islands, and cultures, but also new parts of the sky previously unknown to Europeans. This talk, (free

For ten days, more than sixty doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers from different countries participated in the XXXI Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics, which this year focused on computational fluid dynamics for astrophysical uses. Its participants, more than 30% were women, which is considered one of the successes of this School of the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC). The design of complex algorithms with modern computer architectures and code optimization to achieve maximum performance has a large number of applications for differents fields of

For a few minutes there is almost total darkness (in broad daylight) and you can see the sun's corona, the stars and the brightest planets. Credits: J.C. Married & D. Lopez - starryearth.com. Shelios 2008. An international team led by the University of Queen, of Belfast, and in which the researcher of the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC) Andrés Asensio Ramos participates, discovers why the magnetic waves inside the Sun strengthen and grow as

Continuamente se buscan nuevos horizontes y fronteras que superar y se detectan nuevas señales, como las ondas gravitacionales producidas en fenómenos cósmicos masivos, también en el Big Bang. LIGO ( Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory ), proyecto en el que colaboran más de mil investigadores de 20 países diferentes, fue precisamente diseñado para detectar estas ondas. Al conseguirlo en 2016, como resultado de la fusión de dos agujeros negros, este observatorio confirmaba una de las predicciones de Einstein en su Teoría de la Relatividad General. Ahora, a esta colaboración
