Explosion of a supergiant star detected just one hour after its collapse.
Amateur observatories have been key in detecting the supernova in its initial phases.
The IAA-CSIC participates in this study published in Nature through its global network of robotic telescopes BOOTES.
The IAA-CSIC participates in the first image of the supermassive black hole of our galaxy in polarised light.
The Hispanic Astronomical Center in Andalusia (CAHA), the Spanish Higher Council for Scientific Research (CSIC), and the University of Córdoba (UCO) have signed an action protocol to develop educational and scientific-technological activities in the field of astronomy.
Calar Alto has already signed four collaboration agreements with Andalusian public universities.
A study involving the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) shows a kilonova as a source of heavy elements, including the precious 'rare earths'.
The work, published in Nature, highlights this type of explosive and extremely energetic phenomena as the ideal environment for the formation of metals heavier than iron and silver.
The Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) participates in both its technological development and its scientific return.
The mission will study Venus's core and atmosphere to understand its volcanic activity and climate and find out how this twin of Earth became so inhospitable.
The Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) leads a study that reveals, in unprecedented detail, a region of massive star formation
The Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) participates in the international collaboration that confirms the existence of a bright ring corresponding to the shadow of the black hole in the Messier 87 galaxy.
The stability of the diameter of the ring with respect to the data obtained in 2017 supports the conclusion that the black hole M87 is correctly described by the theory of general relativity.
As space agencies prepare to return to the Moon, scientific and engineering teams face the challenge of mitigating a major environmental risk: dust
The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) participates in the DUSTER project, which will study charged dust particles, which pose a serious risk to the health of human explorers and space instruments
An IAA-CSIC team leads a pioneering study that reveals the crucial role of galactic mergers in the chemical evolution of Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies.
The detection has been made by the LST-1, the first LST telescope of the CTAO Observatory. The Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) is participating in the observations and data analysis.
