Un instrumento cute-SCIDAR, desarrollado por el IAC, se ha probado recientemente (Nov 2007) con éxito en el Observatorio del Paranal. Este instrumento...
A public programme (IAC-STAR) has been developed for generating of HR and C-M synthetic diagrams to investigate problems of star formation and population...
Diffuse interstellar bands in proto-fullerene circumstellar environments.
Fullerenes and fullerene-related molecules have been proposed as explanations for unidentified astronomical features such as the intense UV absorption band at...
Discovered one of the brightest distant galaxies so far known
In the phenomenon of gravitational lensing, predicted by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, the mass of a galaxy acts on the light of a more distant...
Discovery of a massive supercluster system at z=0.47
Superclusters are the largest over-dense, relatively isolated systems in the cosmic web. They provide us invaluable information about the large-scale structure...
Discovery of a massive black hole companion to a B-type star from radial velocity measurements
All stellar-mass black holes have hitherto been identified by X-rays emitted from gas that is accreting onto the black hole from a companion star. These systems...
Discovery of a young and massive stellar cluster: Spectrophotometric near-infrared study of Masgomas-1.
Recent near-infrared data have contributed to the discovery of new (obscured) massive stellar clusters and massive stellar populations in previously known...
Discovery of a young forming planet around the nearby star AU Mic
AU Microscopii (AU Mic) is the second closest pre-main-sequence star, at a distance of 9.79 parsecs and with an age of 22 million years . AU Mic possesses a...
Discovery of a young planetary mass companion to the nearby M dwarf VHS J125601.92-125723.9
In a search for common proper motion companions using the VISTA Hemisphere Survey (VHS) and the 2MASS catalogs we have identi fied a very red (J-Ks = 2.47 mag)...
