A study involving a researcher from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), which has been led by a researcher at the Instituto de Física Fundamental (IFF-CSIC) and the Instituto de Ciencias del Cosmos (UB-IEEC), argues that the explosion that Johannes Kepler observed in 1604 was caused by a merger of two stellar residues.

La sede central del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), en La Laguna, acoge durante esta semana la IV edición del Curso Internacional de Verano “Astronomy Adventure in the Canary Islands”, en el que participan 30 docentes de 6 países.

Among the young women scientists proposed this year to receive the award, which recognizes the careers of researchers with leadership, and who promote the interest of other young people for material related to the sciences are two people with doctorates obtained at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), and the University of La Laguna (ULL).

Researchers of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias are participating in the science team of this project of the European Space Agency (ESA) which is studying the cosmic microwave background radiation, the fossil radiation of the Big Bang.

Más de dos millones de personas presenciaron el eclipse en directo desde Namibia a través del canal sky-live.tv con la colaboración del proyecto europeo STARS4ALL y del Observatorio de altas energías HESS. Y se calcula que alrededor de 1.200 se acercaron a la Fiesta del Sistema Solar en el Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos, de Museos de Tenerife. Ambas iniciativas contaron con la participación del personal del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC).

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
