A study led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) uncovers an extreme signal in IZw18, a nearby metal-poor galaxy, pointing to still-unexplained physical processes

The discovery, based on data from the James Webb Space Telescope and the Gran Telescopio Canarias, opens a new window into the energetic processes that dominated the earliest galaxies in the cosmos

The work, led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), has identified gamma-ray emission from HH 80-81, one of the most powerful jets ejected by a massive protostar in formation.

The results, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, mark a step forward in the understanding of one of the greatest enigmas in astrophysics: the origin of cosmic rays.

Study co-led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) reveals that the ellipticity of the M87* ring is due to plasma turbulence and not due to its spin.

The results, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, bring the scientific community closer to isolating the gravitational signature of a black hole and directly measuring its spin.

The validated instrument will help develop technologies to protect astronauts and equipment in future space missions

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) is responsible for designing and integrating the electronics and software of DUSTER, a key tool for understanding and mitigating the effects of lunar dust

The integration of the telescope’s two main components at OHB facilities in Oberpfaffenhofen (Germany) marks a decisive step for the mission

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) plays a prominent scientific and technological role in this milestone and throughout the mission

The study, published in Nature Astronomy, shows that it will be possible to determine the masses of the first stars formed after the Big Bang

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) has analyzed how instruments like the REACH antenna and the SKA radio telescope may help reconstruct the nature of these primordial celestial bodies

The study, led by the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) and published in Nature Astronomy, analyzes the role of Mars’ axial tilt in the planet’s water loss

The scientific team has incorporated key improvements into the climate model used, allowing for a more accurate representation of current hydrogen escape—and therefore water loss—into space

The images, captured by the Solar Orbiter mission and released this week, show the south pole of our star for the first time. The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) co-leads the mission’s largest scientific instrument (SO/PHI), which was key to this pioneering observation

The work is led by Enrique Pérez Montero, researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), who, after losing his sight in the course of his scientific career, studies the intricacies of the cosmos through sound

The research focuses on the use of the infrared range to study active galaxy nucleus, considered among the most energetic objects in the universe.

The contract is part of the National Space Surveillance and Tracking Programme (S3T) and the European Space Situational Awareness Programme (SSA) of the European Space Agency (ESA)

The project aims to design a cooperative system to optimise astronomical observation for space surveillance and monitoring
