El jueves 25 de enero tendrá lugar en el Palacio de Formación y Congresos de Puerto del Rosario, en Fuerteventura, un encuentro de divulgación científica organizado por Agencia Canaria de Investigación, Innovación y Sociedad de la Información (ACIISI) y el Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) donde personal investigador del centro expondrán los avances en distintos campos de la Astrofísica y la instrumentación presente y futura en los Observatorios de Canarias.

The centres of massive galaxies are among the most exotic regions in the Universe. They harbour supermassive black holes, with masses of at least one million, and reaching thousands of millions of times the mass of the Sun. These black holes can cause a great deal of matter to fall towards them, producing the emission of huge quantities of energy before they finally fall into the black hole. Also, during this period (the "active phase" of the galaxy, referred to as an AGN or Active Galactic Nucleus) matter is expelled from outside the black hole in the form of high velocity (relativistic)

We report on the first star discovered to host a planet detected by radial velocity (RV) observations obtained within the CARMENES survey for exoplanets around M dwarfs. HD 147379 (V = 8.9 mag, M = 0.58 ± 0.08 M⊙), a bright M0.0 V star at a distance of 10.7 pc, is found to undergo periodic RV variations with a semi-amplitude of K = 5.1 ± 0.4 m s−1 and a period of P = 86.54 ± 0.06 d. The RV signal is found in our CARMENES data, which were taken between 2016 and 2017, and is supported by HIRES/Keck observations that were obtained since 2000. The RV variations are interpreted as resulting from
