MONOS project studies the binary or multiple systems formed by the most massive stars

CARMENES is a visible and infrared spectrograph that operates from the Calar Alto Observatory. Researchers from the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) participate in the research, which collected data from different astronomical facilities, including the Sierra Nevada Observatory (OSN)

TESS data has allowed to find five roAp, a type of rare stars that shows rapid pulsations, intense magnetic fields and a peculiar chemical composition

The study of the impacts on the lunar surface allows to adjust the predictions of impacts on our planet

Titan, one of Saturn's largest moons, is the only satellite in the Solar System with a complex atmosphere, resembling the primitive Earth. Very strong and confined winds have been detected in the high atmosphere of the satellite, where it seemed to be not enough energy to trigger such fast winds

After a year in orbit around Mars, the TGO orbiter of the ExoMars mission (ESA-Roscosmos) reveals a surprising absence of methane and a relationship between dust storms and atmospheric water vapor. The results, published in Nature, were obtained with the ACS and NOMAD instruments. Researchers from the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) participate in the results, as well as in the scientific team that developed NOMAD

Spanish astronomers from the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC), the National Geographic Institute, the Millimeter Radioastronomy Institute and the University of Valencia have participated in this work. This international study assumes a paradigm shift in observations of the supermassive black hole located in the center of the Messier 87 galaxy

The merging of the two stars, which occurred in August 2017, expelled a large amount of material that has been observed so far by radiotelescopes on five continents

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) obtainted in 2018 the distinction Center of Excellence Severo Ochoa
