An international team, led by researchers from the IAC, used data from the ESA satellite Gaia to measure the motion of 39 dwarf galaxies. These data gives information on the dynamics of these galaxies, their histories and their interactions with the Milky Way.

The Board of Directors of the CTA Observatory (CTAO gGmbH), the company which directws the construction and the working of the future Cherenkov Telescope Arraty (CTA) is meeting this week in La Palma to monitor the state of the project. At the same time there will be a meeting of the Management Board of the Isaac Newton Group of Telescopes (ING).

A joint observational campaign with the MAGIC telescopes at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (Garafía, La Palma) and the VERITAS array at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory (Tucson, Arizona), has detected a new source emitting very-high-energy gamma rays from an unusual system consisting of a massive star and a pulsar. The study has just been published in the prestigious Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Jairo Méndez Abreu and Adriana de Lorenzo-Cáceres, researchers at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), have discovered a peanut-shaped structure in the inner bar of a double-barred galaxy close to the Milky Way. Structures of this type, previously detected only in outer, or single, bars are useful tracers of the evolution of the galaxies.
