Tanausú del Pino Alemán, a researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has been awarded the “ESPD Early Career Researcher Prize” for 2018 given by the European Physical Society to young researchers. This important recognition was awarded for his innovative contributions in the field of theoretical spectropolarimetry, a field of Physics which allows us to investigate the magnetism in the atmosphere of the Sun and of other stars by interpreting the polarization observed in the radiation of their spectral lines. Tanausú del Pino Alemán prepared his doctoral thesis in the

El Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) invita a la presentación de candidaturas al puesto de Subdirector del IAC. El puesto está abierto tanto a mujeres como a hombres. El IAC es un Consorcio Público Estatal compuesto por la Administración General del Estado, la ComunidadAutónoma de Canarias, la Universidad de La Laguna (ULL) y el Consejo Superior de InvestigacionesCientíficas (CSIC). Los fines del Consorcio son: Realizar y promover cualquier tipo de investigación astrofísica o relacionada con ella, así como desarrollar y transferir su tecnología. Difundir los conocimientos

Entre los días 23 y 27 de julio se celebra en Tenerife el III Curso sobre Astrofísica de la Universidad Internacional de Menéndez Pelayo (UIMP) dirigido, por primera vez, a profesorado de educación infantil y primaria que, como en ediciones anteriores, cuenta con la participación del personal investigador del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC).

After more than two years without total lunar eclipses visible from Europe, next July 27 the Moon will cross the shadow of the Earth. With a totality of 102m, it will be the longuest lunar eclipse of the XXIth century. The phenomon will be broadcasted in live from Namibia, through sky-live.tv with the cooperation of the European Project STARS4ALL and the Observatory of high energies HESS, and from the Museum of Science and the Cosmos in Tenerife, through the Facebook channel of the Museums of Tenerife. The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) participates in these two activities.

An international team of astronomers, led by an ex‐student of the University of La Laguna (ULL), José R. Bermejo‐Climent, and a researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), G. Battaglia, finds that some of the small galaxies that orbit around the Milky Way could modify the inner structure of their dark matter haloes already in the first phases of their life due to the energy produced by supernovae explosions.

A study published recently in the journal Nature Astronomy and which questions current models of structure formation in the universo is base don data obtained with the Gran Telescopio Canarias and among its authors is a team of researchers from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC).
