Tanausú del Pino Alemán, a researcher at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has been awarded the “ESPD Early Career Researcher Prize” for 2018 given by the European Physical Society to young researchers. This important recognition was awarded for his innovative contributions in the field of theoretical spectropolarimetry, a field of Physics which allows us to investigate the magnetism in the atmosphere of the Sun and of other stars by interpreting the polarization observed in the radiation of their spectral lines.

Tanausú del Pino Alemán prepared his doctoral thesis in the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) where his two directors were Javier Trujillo Bueno and Rafael Manso Sanz (OJO ES SANZ NO SAINZ!), and from November 2015 has the title of Doctor in Physical Science of the University of La Laguna. After defending his thesis he obtained a postdoctoral position for two years at the High Altitude Observatory (HAO) of the National Centre for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder (Colorado, United States). From February 2018 he is again researching at the IAC with a postdoctoral contract funded by the “Advanced Grant” which the European Research Council granted to Javier Trujillo Bueno, also a researcher at the IAC and Research Professor of the CSIC.

    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

    LIOM, the IAC's technological laboratory for finding life beyond the Solar System
    From 14 to 16 February, the second scientific meeting of the Laboratory for Innovation in Opto-Mechanics (LIOM) will be held at the IACTEC building managed by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) in the Science and Technology Park of La Laguna (Tenerife). This project is dedicated to the development of new optical and mechanical technologies that will form part of the next generation of telescopes capable of detecting biomarkers on exoplanets. One year after its creation, the IAC's Laboratory for Innovation in Opto-Mechanics (LIOM), is holding its second international meeting

    Astronomers discover one of the closest potentially habitable exoplanets to Earth
    An international research, in which the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has played a leading role, has found a planet of intermediate size between Earth and Venus orbiting a cool red dwarf 40 light-years away. The new world, named Gliese 12 b, lies within the habitable zone of its star, making it a promising candidate for the James Webb Space Telescope to study its atmosphere. The discovery was made possible thanks to observations from NASA's TESS satellite and other facilities such as CARMENES, at Calar Alto Observatory (CAHA), and MuSCAT2, installed at the Carlos Sánchez
