El Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), el Gran Telescopio CANARIAS (GTC) y el Museo de la Ciencia y el Cosmos (MCC), de Museos de Tenerife, han editado el calendario astronómico 2018 en formato póster ilustrado con la imagen de la Nebulosa del Águila (M16) obtenida con el instrumento OSIRIS en el GTC, en el Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos (Garafía, La Palma). Crédito: Equipo GTC/Daniel López/IAC. Diseño: Ramón Castro (SMM, IAC), Oswaldo González (MCC) y Alfred Rosenberg (UC3, IAC).

Se podrán recoger ejemplares gratuitos de este calendario en los próximos días y hasta agotar existencias en la Recepción de la sede central del IAC en La Laguna (de 8h a 18h) y en la del Centro de Astrofísica en La Palma (CALP), en Breña Baja (de 8h a 15h).

Este calendario forma parte del proyecto “NIÉPCE: del negativo al positivo”.

Los Observatorios del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) y el Gran Telescopio CANARIAS (GTC) forman parte de las Infraestructuras Científicas y Técnicas Singulares (ICTS) de España.

    Astronomers observe the effect of dark matter on the evolution of the galaxies
    A study led by researcher Laura Scholz, of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has found, for the first time, observational evidence that the evolution and the properties of the galaxies are conditioned not only by the mass of the stars they contain, but aso by the effect of the dark matter halos which surround them. The results are published in the specialist journal Nature Astronomy. Dark matter comprises around 85% of all the matter in the Universe. Although ordinary matter absorbs, reflects and emits light, dark matter cannot be seen directly, which makes its detection

    Study reveals how binary stars change their stellar dance with age
    Research led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has discovered that, in binary systems, stars that evolve into red giants change the way they rotate with their companions, making their orbits more circular. The result was achieved after studying nearly 1000 solar-like oscillating stars in binary systems, the greatest yield to date of such objects. For their identification, the third Gaia Data Release (Gaia-DR3) and NASA Kepler and TESS catalogs have been explored. The study has been published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics and has been selected as the most recent

    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
