III Conferencia Internacional sobre bibliotecas y servicios de información en Astronomía, LISA III17/4/98 Del 21 al 24 de abril y organizada por el Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias

Advertised on

La Conferencia LISA III es la tercera de una serie de reuniones internacionales, la primera de las cuales, LISA I (Coloquio 110 de la IAU), se celebró en el Observatorio Naval de Washington (EEUU), en 1988, y la segunda, LISA II (Taller Técnico de la IAU), en la sede alemana del Observatorio Europeo Austral en Garching, Munich, en 1995.  

En esta ocasión, LISA III, que cuenta con el apoyo de la Unión Europea y tiene carácter de Euroconferencia, se celebrará en el Centro de Congresos de Puerto de la Cruz (Tenerife) y ofrecerá a bibliotecarios, editores y científicos la oportunidad de analizar el estado actual del mantenimiento, suministro y conservación de información astronómica, además de debatir sobre el futuro de la profesión con expertos en distintos temas invitados a participar en la reunión. 

Aparte de las ponencias habituales en una reunión internacional de estas características, están previstas sesiones de pósters y visitas a los Observatorios del Teide (Tenerife) y del Roque de los Muchachos (La Palma).

    "Galaxy Zoo: Euclid" seeks help in classifying galaxies
    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

    Astronomers make a significant advance in our knowledge of the asteroids nearest to the Earth, the Arjunas
    Research, in which the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias has participated has analyzed object 2023 FY3, a member of a group of asteroids which have trajectories similar to that of the Earth. The available data suggest that it could collide with the Earth during the next hundred years, but its small size implies that it is not a major threat The study of the physical characteristics and the dynamical evolution of object 2023 FY3, in which the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) have participated, enhances our limited knowledge about the

    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
