It will observe hundreds of millions of galaxies from the Javalambre Astrophysical Observatory in order to understand the accelerating expansion of the Universe.

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) participates in the 23-year follow-up of the central supermassive black hole of the galaxy M87. The study reveals that the jet emerging from the centre oscillates, which in turn provides the first evidence of rotation of a supermassive black hole

The University of Granada and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), through the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC), have formalised an agreement with the aim of strengthening cooperation in the field of climate and ecological research in Sierra Nevada

It has been detected around a brown dwarf, a type of cold, low-mass substar. Published in Science, the image evokes the well-known belts of the Earth and Jupiter and reveals a magnetic field ten times greater than that of Jupiter, as well as intense polar auroras

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) leads the sharpest analysis of this forming massive protostar, suggesting that it alternates recurrent episodes of accretion and ejection of material

With more than sixty telescopes located in both hemispheres, the CTA Observatory will be the leading gamma-ray observatory for the next decades. The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) participates in the project and in the article on the performance of the LST-1 telescope, a milestone in the project

Nine institutions from seven European countries have today signed the deeds of this entity, which paves the way for the future construction of the European Solar Telescope (EST). One of the main goals of EST is to improve our understanding of the Sun by observing its magnetic fields in unprecedented detail

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) is participating in a study that highlights the influence of a series of compounds emitted by the ocean on the Earth's climate. The scientific team, which stresses that this effect does not counteract the warming produced by human emissions, emphasises the need to include it in climate models to improve their predictions

The IAA-CSIC participates in a study that shows for the first time observationally that galaxies in the sparsely populated regions of the universe evolve more slowly than those in highly populated areas. The result is part of the CAVITY project, led by the University of Granada and developed at Calar Alto Observatory (CAHA)

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) participates in the development of a 3D global climate model of the extrasolar planet LP 890-9 c. These models are essential to analyze exoplanets similar to Earth, as well as to study their evolution
