The International Astronomical Union (IAU) has approved the naming of asteroid (20747) Tanialepivert in honour of Tania Le Pivert Jolivet, a postdoctoral researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), for her contributions to the study of primitive asteroids. The scientist thus joins the group of researchers affiliated with the IAC who have an asteroid named after them. Tania Le Pivert Jolivet, a postdoctoral researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), has been honoured with one of the most unique accolades a person dedicated to the study of the Solar System
The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the University of La Laguna are leading an international study on dark galaxies. ULL PhD student Guacimara García Bethencourt, together with her thesis supervisors Arianna Di Cintio and Sébastien Comerón, both lecturers in the Department of Astrophysics at the ULL and researchers at the IAC, presents a pioneering study in Astronomy & Astrophysics on one of the most intriguing objects in modern astrophysics: dark galaxies, systems rich in gas and dark matter but incapable of forming stars, and therefore invisible to traditional telescopes
