Robotic telescopes study everything -from objects in our Solar System and galactic nuclei to transitory phenomena such as explosions of gamma rays- without human intervention

The Resercher's Night at the IAA: an opportunity to know the cosmos guided by scientists

The International Conference on Phenomena in Ionized Gases (ICPIG) is bringing together over five hundred researchers in Granada this week

A study has revealed anomalies in the Eskimo Nebula that suggest that its central star could be double
This study provides robust evidence on the existence of a conduction layer which transfers thermal energy produced in the collision of stellar winds in planetary nebulae

Massive stars have, despite their scarcity, a huge influence on the structure and chemical evolution of galaxies

ALHAMBRA studies in detail eight deep regions of the sky, which make it the best available tool to know the recent history of the universe

SUNRISE, a balloon-borne solar telescope to study the sun's magnetic field, has been launched today from the Esrange Space Center, near the town of Kiruna (Sweden)

In October 2011, the Earth crossed the trail of gas and dust from the comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, triggering the intense rain of shooting stars known as Draconids

Astronomers from the IAA have analyzed an emission detected few months ago in Titan's atmosphere and reveal the existence of large amounts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These compounds, generated in the upper atmosphere, descend to lower levels and form the haze that covers the satellite, heats the atmosphere and prevents condensation
