MAGIC telescopes re-start observations of the gamma-ray sky after a full upgrade

The Calar Alto Legacy Integral Field Area survey (CALIFA survey) announces today its first public release of data, offering an unprecedentedly detailed view of one hundred galaxies in the local universe with ample opportunities for scientific study. Together with the data release, two technical publications authored by members of the CALIFA collaboration have been made publicly available, describing the data and showing some of their scientific applications.

The physical mechanisms responsible for the PN morphological menagerie are still subject of hot debate

SO-102 revolves around the Milky Way´s supermassive black hole in 11,5 years. The star may help test the laws of gravity under extreme conditions and understand the role supermassive black holes play in the center of galaxies

The fraction of core-collapse supernovae that remain undetected due to obscuration by dust reaches one in five for nearby galaxies and four in five for distant galaxies. The number of detected supernovae helps determine the cosmic star formation history

MACS1149-JD, a very faint galaxy, will provide clues about the reionization

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia(IAA-CSIC) coordinates different activities in defense of investment in science: concentrations, a flash mob and outreach on the street to raise awareness of the importance of research.

The star's magnetic field, 20.000 times stronger than the Sun's, is slowing the star's rotation

The Spanish astronomy, technological centers and companies come together in the international project SKA, a network of radioastronomy sensors on a continental scale
