An international team led by researchers from the IAC, using the radial velocity method, have discovered a possibly rocky planet at the edge of the habitable zone of a red dwarf star. Only a few dozen planets of this kind are known and its detection was made possible with the HARPS-N spectrograph on the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG) at the Roque de Los Muchachos Observatory, La Palma.

The remnant of this huge supernova, chosen as Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) by NASA, is the third photograph taken with this telescope within the NIÉPCE Project.

Organized by the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias, this course, aimed at students of Engineering and Physics at the University of La Laguna, as well as people employed in companies and those with degree qualifications in these subjects, will take place at the IAC Headquarters on May 19th and 26th.

The CLASP experiment, motivated by theoretical investigations carried out at the IAC, opens a new research window in astrophysics by being able to measure polarization signals in two spectral lines of the solar ultraviolet radiation. The observed polarization provides information on the magnetic field and geometry of the plasma in the enigmatic transition region between the chromosphere and corona of the Sun. CLASP is an international project whose first results have just been published in the The Astrophysical Journal.
