Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) represent one of the kinds of star-forming galaxies that are found in the high-redshift universe. The detection of LBGs in the FIR domain can provide very important clues on their dust attenuation and total star-formation rate (SFR), allowing a more detailed study than those performed so far. In this work we explore the FIR emission of a sample of 16 LBGs at z ~ 3 in the GOODS-North and GOODS-South fields that are individually detected in PACS-100um or PACS-160um. These detections demonstrate the possibility of measuring the dust emission of LBGs at high redshift

Recent observations with the GTC take us a step closer to conditions in the early Universe

The project, carried out with the OSIRIS camera of the Gran Telescopio CANARIAS, has undertaken the deepest and most detailed census of the massive supercluster Cygnus OB2, one of the largest and nearest known 'nurseries' of stars

The new connection for the RedIRIS-NOVA and the Canarian R+D+i network is now established
