The integration of the telescope’s two main components at OHB facilities in Oberpfaffenhofen (Germany) marks a decisive step for the mission

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) plays a prominent scientific and technological role in this milestone and throughout the mission

The study, published in Nature Astronomy, shows that it will be possible to determine the masses of the first stars formed after the Big Bang

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) has analyzed how instruments like the REACH antenna and the SKA radio telescope may help reconstruct the nature of these primordial celestial bodies

The study, led by the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) and published in Nature Astronomy, analyzes the role of Mars’ axial tilt in the planet’s water loss

The scientific team has incorporated key improvements into the climate model used, allowing for a more accurate representation of current hydrogen escape—and therefore water loss—into space

The images, captured by the Solar Orbiter mission and released this week, show the south pole of our star for the first time. The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) co-leads the mission’s largest scientific instrument (SO/PHI), which was key to this pioneering observation

The work is led by Enrique Pérez Montero, researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), who, after losing his sight in the course of his scientific career, studies the intricacies of the cosmos through sound

The research focuses on the use of the infrared range to study active galaxy nucleus, considered among the most energetic objects in the universe.

The contract is part of the National Space Surveillance and Tracking Programme (S3T) and the European Space Situational Awareness Programme (SSA) of the European Space Agency (ESA)

The project aims to design a cooperative system to optimise astronomical observation for space surveillance and monitoring

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) participated in the discovery through key observations with the 1.5-meter telescope at the Sierra Nevada Observatory (OSN), which confirmed the existence of the giant planet

The finding contradicts current theories on the formation of giant planets and opens a promising path for future research

The study, which reports the first detection of X-ray emission from a long-period radio transient, involves the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC)

The finding, made possible by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and CSIRO’s ASKAP radio telescope, may shed new light on the origin of similar mysterious signals observed elsewhere in the sky

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) co-leads a study exploring the connection between the presence of a planet around a star and the star’s properties

The study, focused on intermediate-mass stars, has revealed particularly significant results compared to what is already known about low-mass stars

Data from three instruments aboard the James Webb Space Telescope offer fresh insights into Titan’s atmosphere and chemistry—among the most complex and stable in the solar system

One of the study’s key findings, involving participation from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), is the first direct detection of the methyl radical (CH₃) in Titan’s atmosphere, confirming major predictions about the moon’s rich organic chemistry
