After the first “European Workshop on Technology and Knowledge Generated by Astrophysics” the director of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) Rafael Rebolo repeated his aim of continuing to work to transfer advances to society as a whole.

The CLASP suborbital rocket experiment, motivated by theoretical investigations carried out at the IAC, provided unprecedented observations of the polarization of the solar ultraviolet radiation. The theoretical modeling of these pioneering observations has revealed that the enigmatic chromosphere-corona transition region is extremely corrugated, with a geometry much more complex than in today’s most advanced models.

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the Centre for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI) are organizing a one day event in Madrid to inform about the opportunities offered to Spanish industry during the construction of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) in the northern hemisphere.

The observations carried out with the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) and the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG) have confirmed the discovery of the isolated galaxy Donatiello 1, which is in the neighbourhood of the Local Group of galaxies.
