The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) hosted yesterday a round table with the heads of three of the largest astronomical infrastructures on Earth: the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory (CTAO), the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) and the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO). The nature of these facilities, which will open new windows on the cosmos in gamma-ray, optical and near-infrared and radio astronomy, involves major international collaboration and faces unprecedented technological challenges

More than a thousand specialists participate in the congress, organized locally by members of the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) and held at the Palacio de Congresos. This great meeting has allowed the organization, at the IAA-CSIC, of a meeting with representatives of the European and American space agencies (ESA and NASA) on the JUICE (ESA) and Clipper (NASA) space missions

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) leads a study that finds evidence for the existence of abundant extrasolar planets composed of ice and rock around dwarf stars

A study, part of the GALACTICNUCLEUS project, coordinated by the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC), reveals the history of star formation in the center of our galaxy

An unusual ultrafaint dwarf galaxy has been discovered, within the framework of a project led by the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC), in the outer limits of the Andromeda galaxy. Named Pegasus V, it contains very few heavy elements and is likely to be a fossil of the earliest galaxies

An international scientific team, with the participation of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), has measured with unprecedented precision the mass and radius of Gliese 486 b, a "super-Earth" type exoplanet, discovered in 2021 with the CARMENES instrument at Calar Alto observatory.

Its detailed study has allowed, for the first time, to make solid predictions about the structure and internal composition of a super-Earth.

An international team led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) has detected two telluric planets orbiting the nearby star HD 260655.
The discovery has combined data from the TESS space satellite and the CARMENES spectrograph of the 3.5 m Calar Alto telescope.
These two new super-hot-Earths enter the top 10 candidates for the James Webb Space Telescope to study their possible atmospheres.

The Minister of Science and Innovation has highlighted the contribution of her research staff in capturing the first historic image of the black hole at the centre of the galaxy

The Ada Byron Award, with editions in six countries, was created by the Faculty of Engineering to acknowledge the work of women in technology and encourage women in STEM.

The finding, with the participation of the IAA-CSIC, forces a change in the conception of isolated galaxies
