Twenty thousand observations of CARMENES, obtained from the 3.5-meter telescope of the Calar Alto Observatory (CAHA) are made public. The instrument, co-developed by the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC), has made it possible to discover 59 planets, some of them in the habitable zone

Spain becomes the first country in the world to lead a global network of autonomous observatories. The BOOTES network, with seven facilities, is a pioneer in space surveillance and the study of transient cosmic phenomena, which shine briefly, intensely and suddenly.

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) participates in the discovery of a dense ring in this object that, with a size equivalent to half of Pluto, raises several problems

The IAA-CSIC leads the study of NGC 3312 and NGC3314a, two galaxies in advanced interaction with the cluster that should have lost most of their gas. The work, which seeks to understand how the environment affects galaxies within a cluster, reveals tidal tails with an anomalous amount of cold gas where stars are even forming

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) is leading an observation campaign with the JWST to capture the shadows of starlight produced by the thin rings of the object, located beyond Saturn. Subsequent observations revealed that crystalline water ice dominates the spectrum of Chariklo and its rings, suggesting that continuous micro-collisions are taking place there

The last phases of stars and the formation and evolution of massive stars will be the objects of study of these new legacy projects

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) participates in the discovery of a multiple planetary system around GJ1002

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) participates in a study that points to the interaction of a multiple star system in the formation of the nebula, which was featured on the cover of the journal Nature Astronomy

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) participates in the WEAVE scientific team, whose first observations already show the high quality of the data that the spectrograph will provide

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) participates in the study of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) whose characteristics require a revision of the theoretical framework that explains these bursts
