    The IAC is involved in confirming the existence of an always-changing multi-planet system
    An international team of scientists, including researchers from the Canary Islands Institute of Astrophysics (IAC), has confirmed the existence of three bodies orbiting the dynamic exoplanetary system TOI-201. They include a super-earth (TOI-201 d), a warm Jupiter (TOI-201 b) and a brown dwarf (TOI-201 c). The paper is published in Science Advances. “The goal was to characterize the TOI-201 planetary system to understand not just what planets are there, but how they interact with each other dynamically,” said Ismael Mireles, a PhD candidate in the UNM Department of Physics and Astronomy and

    The construction of the SELF telescope progresses with the arrival of its main structure
    The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) continues to make progress in the construction of the SELF (Small ExoLife Finder) telescope with the arrival of its mechanical structure at the IACTec facilities. The structure, shipped from the Basque Country, marks a new milestone in the development of this scientific and technological project. The assembly has been received at the IACTec Building, located in the Las Mantecas Science and Technology Park (La Laguna, Santa Cruz de Tenerife), a strategic site dedicated to the design, integration and validation of advanced astronomical

    The ULL and the IAC have created one of the largest photometric catalogues of asteroids observed in Spain
    A team of scientists, including astrophysicist Carlos Hernández Monteagudo from the University of La Laguna (ULL) and the Canary Islands Institute of Astrophysics (IAC), has compiled one of the most comprehensive catalogues of small bodies in the Solar System, based on photometric observations made from Earth. The study, published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, compiles data on 6,579 asteroids, comets and irregular satellites, mainly from the main belt located between Mars and Jupiter, opening up new possibilities for studying their composition and rotation.
