Several telescopes of the Canary Island Observatories are studying this controversial star in a coordinated campaign involving over a hundred professional and amateur astronomers throughout the world, among them researchers at the IAC and the ULL.

This astronomical event will be broadcast live and via the sky-live.tv channel during the small hours of January 4th, with the collaboration of the European STARS4ALL project. This first meteor shower of the year may bring us spectacular images.

An International team with participation by researchers with close links to the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias and the University of La Laguna, obtains the first clear observational evidence that the mass of the supermassive central black hole in a massive galaxy affects the formation of new stars during its lifetime.

An International team with participation by researchers with close links to the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias and the University of La Laguna, obtains the first clear observational evidence that the mass of the supermassive central black hole in a massive galaxy affects the formation of new stars during its lifetime. This had been a widely accepted hypothesis, and is a key to theoretical simulations of massive galaxies, but it lacked observational confirmation. The results of this research were published yesterday in Nature magazine.

This high resolution 2D spectrograph, which recently had its "first light", is a project in which the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, the Laboratoire d'Astrophysique de Marseille, and the Institute de Astrofísica de Canarias are collaborating.
