The CAIRT mission, in whose scientific design the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) has participated, is among the two proposals selected by the European Space Agency (ESA) to move on to Phase A of the Earth Explorer 11 programme. CAIRT aims to study how the Earth's atmosphere reacts to climate change

Together with two other CSIC centres, it has contributed its experience in big data to tackle one of the remains of the future observatory, which will investigate the phase of the Universe in which stars were formed. The SKA Observatory, the largest scientific infrastructure planned to date, is an international effort to build the world's most powerful radio telescopes

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC), through its Sky Quality Office, organizes this meeting in collaboration with the Spanish Light Pollution Network. The event will bring together more than fifty light pollution experts from different European countries in Granada

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) leads the observation with the highest resolution and sensitivity of the jet of material emerging from the nucleus of galaxy 3C 279 at almost the speed of light. The image shows large helical filaments at their base, the existence of which requires an alternative model to the one used for the last four decades to explain the variability of these jets.

It will observe hundreds of millions of galaxies from the Javalambre Astrophysical Observatory in order to understand the accelerating expansion of the Universe.

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) participates in the 23-year follow-up of the central supermassive black hole of the galaxy M87. The study reveals that the jet emerging from the centre oscillates, which in turn provides the first evidence of rotation of a supermassive black hole

The University of Granada and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), through the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC), have formalised an agreement with the aim of strengthening cooperation in the field of climate and ecological research in Sierra Nevada

It has been detected around a brown dwarf, a type of cold, low-mass substar. Published in Science, the image evokes the well-known belts of the Earth and Jupiter and reveals a magnetic field ten times greater than that of Jupiter, as well as intense polar auroras

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) leads the sharpest analysis of this forming massive protostar, suggesting that it alternates recurrent episodes of accretion and ejection of material
