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.

    The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias and the KU Leuven reneu their framework of cooperation
    The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the KU Leuven , Belgium, have amplified their framework of collaboration in astrophysical research. The two institutions have signed an agreement which gives continuity to the operations of the Mercator Telescope at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory (ORM), which started in 2002, and whose work will be strengthened by the installation of a new instrument called MARVEL (Mercator Array for Radial Velocities). Mercator is a semi-robotic telescope with a 1.2 metre primary mirror. Its name comes from that of the famous Flemish cartographer

    The light from quasars, a key to the measurement of the expansion of the distant universe
    The Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) in collaboration with the University of Geneva (Switzerland), the University of Osaka (Japan), and the University of Zhejiang (China) has made a key contribution to a more precise measurement of the expansion of the Universe. This is because they have made an improvement in the precision of the calculation of the scale of the universe in its early stages using the analisis of the distribution of gas in intergalactic space, measurements which reach back to epochs between 10,000 and 12,000 million years ago. This result comes from the análisis of

    Researchers Julia de León and Javier Licandro of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) are participating in the Hera mission of the European Space Agency (ESA) , successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida (USA) on 7th October at 14:52 UTC. This is the first European mission for planetary defence which together with NASA’s DART (Double Asteroid redirection Test) will study the effects of a technique for diverting asteroids called “ kinetic impactor”. The DART probe crashed into the smaller ( Dimorphos) of the two asteroids which form the binary system Didymos, on September
