A study led jointly by a researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) detects a faint stellar glow which is distributed in virtually the same way as the dark matter in deep observations of six clusters using the Hubble Space Telescope.

The IAC has participated in a study that shows unexpected complexity in the distribution of gas and dust in one of the brightest planetary nebulae in the sky.

A Japan-Spain international collaboration team has developed a powerful 4-color simultaneous camera named MuSCAT2 on the 1.52m Telescopio Carlos Sánchez in the Teide Observatory, Canaries, Spain. The instrument aims to find a large number of new transiting exoplanets, including Earth-like habitable planets in the solar neighborhood, in collaboration with NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) launched in April 2018.
