The Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) participated in the discovery through key observations with the 1.5-meter telescope at the Sierra Nevada Observatory (OSN), which confirmed the existence of the giant planet

The finding contradicts current theories on the formation of giant planets and opens a promising path for future research

The study, which reports the first detection of X-ray emission from a long-period radio transient, involves the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC)

The finding, made possible by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and CSIRO’s ASKAP radio telescope, may shed new light on the origin of similar mysterious signals observed elsewhere in the sky

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) co-leads a study exploring the connection between the presence of a planet around a star and the star’s properties

The study, focused on intermediate-mass stars, has revealed particularly significant results compared to what is already known about low-mass stars

Data from three instruments aboard the James Webb Space Telescope offer fresh insights into Titan’s atmosphere and chemistry—among the most complex and stable in the solar system

One of the study’s key findings, involving participation from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), is the first direct detection of the methyl radical (CH₃) in Titan’s atmosphere, confirming major predictions about the moon’s rich organic chemistry

The research, headed by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), solves a longstanding mystery about the particles responsible for X-ray emission in blazars

IXPE, the joint mission of NASA and the Italian Space Agency, along with the Sierra Nevada Observatory, played a key role in obtaining the data that enabled identification of the mechanism behind this extreme phenomenon

Two studies co-led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) have examined the center of our galaxy with unprecedented detail, thanks to observations from the James Webb Space Telescope

The findings could help clarify why star formation in one of the innermost regions of the Milky Way is surprisingly low despite having conditions that should favor this process

A study co-led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) reveals deviations from established models of the jets formed in supermassive black holes

The finding is based on observations from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), whose high resolution has allowed for an unprecedented analysis of jets at close distances from supermassive black holes in the active cores of certain galaxies

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC), together with the Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie (MPIA) in Heidelberg, Germany, has developed PANIC, a wide-field infrared camera for the 2.2-meter telescope at the Calar Alto Observatory in Almería, Spain

PANIC, which operates in the near-infrared wavelength range, will be capable of studying star clusters, galaxies, nebulae, stars, exoplanets, and even the smallest bodies in our Solar System

After decades of tracking an enigmatic X-ray signal from a star in its final life stages, this study, co-led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía, may have finally uncovered its origin: the destruction of a nearby planet

Although the Sun is currently about 4.6 billion years old and is expected to take another 5 billion years before exhausting its hydrogen and evolving into a red giant, this study explores potential fates of the planets in the solar system

The Spanish prototype of the SKA Regional Centre, developed by IAA-CSIC, becomes the first centre to successfully complete its integration into SRCNet0.1, the first operational version of the international network that will form the scientific core of the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO)
