JOSÉ LABASTIDA, Science Director of the European Research Council (ERC) visited the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), accompanied by Eduardo Domènech, Rector of the University of La Laguna (ULL), Catalina Ruiz Pérez, Vicerector of Research and Knowledge Transfer, and Rodrigo Trujillo, Vicerector of Internationalization and Excellence. He was joined by Rafael Rebolo and Carlos Martínez Roger, Director and Subdirector respectively of the IAC.

Labastida, at the invitation of the ULL, held a meeting with IAC researchers and, at 16h this afternoon, will give a general talk on the ERC in the Aula Magna of the Physics and Mathematics Faculty that will be open to the public.

    IAC scientists detect a ‘sub-Earth’ orbiting Barnard’s star, the nearest isolated star to the Sun
    The single star nearest to the Sun is called Barnard’s star. A team of researchers led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), has recently detected a ‘sub-Earth’ orbiting it. This exoplanet, called Barnard b has at least half the mass of Venus and orbits rapidly around its star, so that its year lasts only a little over three Earth days. This new exoplanet is sixteen times nearer to Barnard’d star than Mercury is to the Sun, and has a surface temperature close to 125oC, so it does not have liquid water on its surface. This discovery, led by the IAC in collaboration with a number

    Astronomers find evidence that blue supergiant stars can be formed by the merger of two stars
    An international piece of research, led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has found clues to the nature of some of the brightest and hottest stars in our Universe, called blue supergiants. Although these stars are commonly observed, their origin has been an old puzzle that has been debated for several decades. By simulating novel stellar models and analysing a large data sample in the Large Magellanic Cloud, IAC researchers have found strong evidence that most blue supergiants may have formed from the merger of two stars bound in a binary system. The study is published in the

    The IAC aims to illuminate the dark side of the universe with the UNDARK project
    UNDARK is a pioneering project led by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) bringing together outstanding international institutions in the fields of astrophysics, cosmology, and particle physics. Funded for three years via the 'Widening' programme of the European Union, its objective is to tackle one of the major puzzles of contemporary physics: the dark universe. The major part of the Cosmos is composed by the so-called “dark universe”. Barely 18% of the total matter in the universe is made up of the elements in atoms with which we are familiar, while the remaining 82%, termed
