Between the 12th and 14th December there will be a meeting in Valencia in which the most recent results obtained with the Gran Telescopio Canarias, the largest optical and infrared telescope in the world, will be presented.

CAPTION: Composite view of particle ejection from the surface of asteroid Bennu on January 6, 2019. This image was produced by combining two exposures taken by the NavCam 1 imager: a short exposure (1.4 ms) showing the asteroid followed by a longer exposure (5 s) to show the particles. First results on the analysis of several particle ejection episodes imaged by the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft have been presented in a Science paper, co-authored by Julia de León and Javier Licandro of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC). NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft arrived at asteroid Bennu on December

The lecture will be given by the researcher from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and Titular Professor at the University of La Laguna (ULL), César Esteban, next Thursday, 12th December at 19:00 h in the Museum of Science and the Cosmos, of Museums of Tenerife, in the framework of the acts commemorating the V Centenary of the first Circumnavigation of the World . The first circumnavigation of the world was an epic which gave rise to the discovery of new territories, seas, islands, and cultures, but also new parts of the sky previously unknown to Europeans. This talk, (free

Caption: Total solar eclipse from Novosibirsk (Russia). In a total eclipse of the Sun, the Moon exactly covers the disk of the Sun. For a few minutes there is almost total darkness (in broad daylight) and you can see the sun's corona, the stars and the brightest planets. Credits: J.C. Married & D. Lopez - starryearth.com. Shelios 2008. An international team led by the University of Queen, of Belfast, and in which the researcher of the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC) Andrés Asensio Ramos participates, discovers why the magnetic waves inside the Sun strengthen and grow as

For ten days, more than sixty doctoral students and postdoctoral researchers from different countries participated in the XXXI Canary Islands Winter School of Astrophysics, which this year focused on computational fluid dynamics for astrophysical uses. Its participants, more than 30% were women, which is considered one of the successes of this School of the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC). The design of complex algorithms with modern computer architectures and code optimization to achieve maximum performance has a large number of applications for differents fields of
