Hoy martes, 8 de julio, la secretaria de Estado de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación del Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad, Carmen Vela Olmo, entregó los diplomas acreditativos del Programa Internacional de Becas de Doctorado “la Caixa”-Severo Ochoa de la convocatoria 2013, en el CaixaForum de Madrid.

Se trata de la primera convocatoria de este programa, que ha concedido 69 becas para que estudiantes españoles y extranjeros puedan cursar doctorados en universidades españolas y centros de investigación acreditados con el distintivo de excelencia Severo Ochoa.

Estas ayudas cuentan con el reconocimiento unánime de la comunidad educativa y forman estudiantes "competitivos a nivel internacional", ha señalado Carmen Vela, durante el acto de entrega.

La secretaria de Estado estuvo acompañada en la ceremonia del director y del coordinador de Enseñanza del Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), Rafael Rebolo y Antonio Aparicio, respectivamente, así como del director general de la Fundación “la Caixa”, Jaime Lanaspa, la directora general adjunta de la Obra Social “la Caixa”, Elisa Durán y el director territorial en Madrid de CaixaBank, Juan Carlos Gallego.

    The light from quasars, a key to the measurement of the expansion of the distant universe
    The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) in collaboration with the University of Geneva (Switzerland), the University of Osaka (Japan), and the University of Zhejiang (China) has made a key contribution to a more precise measurement of the expansion of the Universe. This is because they have made an improvement in the precision of the calculation of the scale of the universe in its early stages using the analisis of the distribution of gas in intergalactic space, measurements which reach back to epochs between 10,000 and 12,000 million years ago. This result comes from the análisis of

    Eccentric exoplanet reveals how hot jupiters form
    An international scientific team, in which the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) participates, has discovered the extremely eccentric orbit of a gas giant exoplanet. This world, called TIC 241249530 b, not only follows one of the most drastically stretched-out orbits of all known transiting exoplanets, but also is also orbiting its star backwards, lending insight into the mystery of how these high-mass gas giants evolve into hot Jupiters , with very close and circular trajectories. The study is published in Nature. Within the population of known exoplanets, there are those that

    A new citizen science project launched today by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Euclid Consortium, in collaboration with the Zooniverse platform, will enable volunteers from around the world to identify the shapes of millions of galaxies in images taken by ESA's Euclid space telescope. The aim of the initiative is to train deep AI neural networks to build the largest morphology catalogue to date. In November 2023 and May 2024, the world got its first glimpse at the quality of Euclid’s images, targeting a variety of sources, from nearby nebulas to distant clusters of galaxies. And
