Last Tuesday, in the Tenerife Space for the Arts (TEA) in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the IAC celebrated the XI edition of the Day of Our Science, an annual meting at which the personnel present, for internal consumption, the latest novelties in its work, in research, technological development, and outreach, in order to promote discussions and collaborations between the different study groups and divisions of the Institute.Advertised on -
“The message of light” is the theme chosen for the fifth edition of this teacher training course, organized by the IAC, which will be held from 15 to 19 July in La Laguna (Tenerife). Registration is free for the Spanish educational community and will remain open until 25 June 25th or until full capacity is reached.Advertised on -
76 educational centres in Tenerife have participated in the activities of this project which will continue during the next three years to train the teachers in the Island to put astronomy into their classrooms.Advertised on -
Almost all massive stars explode as supernovae and form a black hole or neutron star. The remnant mass and the impact of the chemical yield on subsequent star formation and galactic evolution strongly depend on the internal physics of the progenitor star, which is currently not well understood. The theoretical uncertainties of stellar interiors accumulate with stellar age, which is particularly pertinent for the blue supergiant phase. Stellar oscillations represent a unique method of probing stellar interiors, yet inference for blue supergiants is hampered by a dearth of observed pulsationAdvertised on -
By virtue of this agreement, signed today at ESA’s European Centre of Space Research and Technology (ESTEC) in Noordwijk, (The Netherlands), Tenerife will become the main European Centre of Space Communications by laser.Advertised on
