The QUIJOTE experiment at the Teide Observatory (Tenerife) has studied the polarization of this type of emissions in one of the nearest and youngest star formation regions of the Milky Way, yielding important information for effectuating an adequate separation of this radiation from other galactic components.

Researchers from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the University of La Laguna (ULL) have discovered the remains of a planet inside a disc of debris circling a white dwarf. Thought to be rich in heavy metals iron and nickel which helped it survive destruction of its planetary system. This work, has been published today in Science magazine.

The first results on the analysis of the images of Bennu obtained using OCAMS, OVIRS, and OTES instruments on-board NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft have been published today in a paper on Nature Astronomy, co-authored by four researchers of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the University of La Laguna (ULL).

The World’s largest optical and infrared telescope will be part of this space project by observing binary asteroid Didymos in order to assess the impact that NASA DART mission will have on its orbit.

An international study, led by researchers at the IAC, reveal unknown details about the nature of a singular type of oscillatory phenomenon in spiral form detected in sunspots. The research, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, was carried out using observations with the GREGOR telescope at the Teide Observatory.

An international group of scientist led by researches from the IAC detect the evaporation of atmospheric helium on the giant exoplanet WASP-69b.
