A team co-led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía has created ViewCube, an innovative tool that not only allows for the visualization of astronomical data but also enables its auditory experience

This breakthrough adds a new sensory dimension to the analysis of complex data while promoting inclusion and accessibility, facilitating the active participation of people with visual impairments in the study of galaxies

The European Commission has established the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO) as a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC), paving the way to accelerate the Observatory's construction

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) contributes to the project by developing data analysis software for the LST telescopes, common systems for the observatory, and studying active galactic nuclei, among other research areas

An international team, including researchers from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), has discovered a universal mechanism that explains how jets—powerful streams of matter and energy—maintain their shape as they travel through space.

This breakthrough was made possible thanks to observations from the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), a highly versatile radio observatory located on the San Agustin Plains, United States.

An international scientific team, with significant Spanish participation through a consortium led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), has, for the first time, obtained simultaneous data from the Sun in ultraviolet, visible, and infrared light bands.

This information was gathered during the successful scientific flight of the Sunrise III mission in July 2024

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) is leading the LPI (La Palma Interferometer) project, aimed at conducting astronomical observations with spatial resolution a thousand times greater than that of the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes.

LPI brings together the collaboration of various research centers and institutions from Spain, Italy, the Nordic countries, and Mexico, working together to establish a cutting-edge scientific facility with international relevance.

Thanks to an innovative approach combining high spatial and spectral resolution, the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) has analyzed the distribution of organic compounds on Ceres with unprecedented detail

This study paves the way for a potential future return to Ceres to clarify the nature of the detected material and examine its astrobiological implications

The four new episodes of the series, produced by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), will be available from 29 November on Filmin and Vimeo On Demand

The project, co-led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), has made available to the scientific community the first twelve square degrees of the three-dimensional map of the Universe being developed from the Javalambre Astrophysical Observatory (OAJ).

The studied area contains 550,000 astronomical objects and represents just a small sample of the survey's data, which aims to cover thousands of square degrees over the next decade.

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) contributed to this study by providing key data obtained with its ALFOSC spectrograph, installed on the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory in La Palma.

This information complements data from NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory and the ZTF project.

The study, focusing on the planetary nature of thirteen objects of interest from the TESS mission, confirms the existence of five new planets around red dwarf or M-type stars, which are smaller and cooler than our Sun.

The planets lie within or very near the "Neptunian desert," a region noted for the scarcity of planets with characteristics similar to those of Neptune.
