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.

Jairo Méndez Abreu and Adriana de Lorenzo-Cáceres, researchers at the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC), have discovered a peanut-shaped structure in the inner bar of a double-barred galaxy close to the Milky Way. Structures of this type, previously detected only in outer, or single, bars are useful tracers of the evolution of the galaxies.
