These bursts, which show a similar luminosity in almost all cases, are used to measure distances in the universe or to study dark energy. The study, in which the Institute de Astrophysics de Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) participates, shows that the explosion occurred in a double star system in which a white dwarf stole material from its solar-type companion

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) is participating in the discovery of a third planet around the nearby star LP791-18. Slightly larger than our own, its gravitational interaction with the most massive planet in the system could generate intense volcanic activity

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) participates in obtaining an unprecedented panoramic view, which shows for the first time the black hole and the jet of matter that emerges from it. The data reveals that the black hole in the galaxy M87, the first to be imaged, consumes matter at a very low rate.

JUICE, the European Space Agency (ESA) mission to study the icy moons of Jupiter, will be launched tomorrow 13 April from the Kourou Spaceport (French Guiana). The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) is participating in two of the mission's instruments, the GALA laser altimeter and the JANUS camera

The Spanish contribution to the project, which amounts to 41.4 million euros until 2030, will allow Spanish companies to participate in contracts of high technological value for the construction of this scientific infrastructure. The Institute de Astrophysics de Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) is responsible for the technical coordination of the Spanish participation in the project

The Institute de Astrophysics de Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) is participating in the discovery of a gas stream feeding a distant, massive galaxy, which points to the existence of a large-scale material supply network in the universe

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) leads the discovery of TOI-2096, a unique planetary system

On March 14 and 16, the External Scientific Advisory Board (ESAB), composed of internationally recognized researchers, visited the IAA-CSIC facilities to review the activities of the IAA and to provide advice on future actions.

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) is leading a study that concludes that lightning could increase by 40% before the end of this century. The study points to a large increase in forest fires in the Mediterranean basin, as well as in the central and west coast of North America

The Institute de Astrophysics de Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) leads the study of twenty-two very luminous and distant quasars that completes our knowledge of the diversity of these objects
