The 4th SOLARNET meeting "The physics of the Sun from the interior to the outer atmosphere", organized by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), will take place during 16th and 20th January in Arrecife (Lanzarote). The main pupose of this conference is to provide a coherent picture of the Sun as a single physical system playing all the underlying physical processes measured and observed in the solar atmosphere to date. 

The congress will be an international meeting point for the astrophysical community at all levels, from doctoral students to experienced researchers, in which the most recent advances will be discussed. It will consist of short presentations, organized in sessions dedicated to different topics related to Solar Physics, such as the study of the interior of the Sun, the formation of spots and active regions and the links between the subsurface dynamics and coronal mass ejections . It will also identify problems arising from its study and foster collaboration to create synergies between different solar research programs. The invited talks will summarize the main results in this field.

The meeting will include a special session dedicated to upcoming solar telescopes and instrumentation, such as the future European Solar Telescope (EST), the largest of its kind in Europe and to be installed in the Observatories of the Canary Islands. It is worth noting the wide female participation in the meeting, whose scientific committee is entirely composed of women.

    The Solar System Group at the IAC discovers a new asteroid near the Earth
    The discovery of 2024 NP2 took place during the night of July 4th in images taken during the commissioning of the TST, a new telescope recently installed at the Teide Observatory. On July 4th the first regular observations were made in the commissioning of the Transient Survey Telescope (TST), an astronomical installation produced by a public-private collaboration between the IAC and the Canary company Light Bridges , at the Teide Observatory (Tenerife). The TST is a robotic telescope with a wide field. With a 1 metre telescope and a camera using an sCMOS detector at its prime focus, it can

    Press release
    Researchers show that the shape of the Whirlpool galaxy has been molded by the repeated passage through its disc of a satellite galaxy
    An international research team, with participation by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) shows that the satellite galaxy NGC 5195 has passed twice through the disc of the Whirlpool Galaxy (M51), in relatively recent times, stimulating star formation, and defining the structure of its arms. The research is published in the prestigious The Astrophysical Journal. The Whirlpool Galaxy M51, is a ”grand design” spiral galaxy: its spiral form is dominated by two well defined arms. Discovered by Charled Messier in 1771 M51 lies some 31 million light years from Earth, As it is face-on

    Press release
    IAC researchers find that the stars in Omega Centauri move under the action of a cluster of black holes
    Omega Centauri is a large globular cluster, containing almost ten million stars, in the direction of the constellation of Centaurus, which has been studied to understand its stellar kinematics, the motions of its stars under the action of the gravitational forces which act on them. A research team at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has just published a study which shows that a group of black holes dominates the movements of its stellar kinematics. This result can be extended to certain other structures in the universe and goes against some previous claims about the role of low
