An international team, with participation from the University of La Laguna (ULL) and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), have, for the first time, captured a detailed snapshot of planetary systems in an era long shrouded in mystery. The study, called ALMA survey to Resolve exoKuiper belt Substructures (ARKS) , is based on a series of 10 articles published simultaneously in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics and was carried out using the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) . Thanks to this work, the sharpest images ever of 24 debris disks, the dusty belts left

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has successfully completed a technological milestone of great significance: the “Redundancy of the RedIRIS Tenerife–La Palma Maritime and Terrestrial Optical Network” project. This new and robust optical communications network guarantees the continuity of the data highways for the Canary Islands’ observatories — the Teide Observatory (OT) in Tenerife and the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (ORM) in La Palma — ensuring their connectivity in the event of any technical or environmental contingency. This achievement is the result of a joint

The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), through IACTEC-Space, is participating this week in Space Tech Expo Europe, the largest space industry trade fair on the continent, held in Bremen from November 18 to 20. The team is located in the Spain Space pavilion, alongside the Canary Islands Aerospace Strategy (EAC), to showcase the technological developments of the CELESTE laboratories and strengthen international collaborations in the space sector. The I nstituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) is participating once again in Space Tech Expo Europe, the leading event for the space
