En 2017, la sonda Dawn reveló la presencia de material orgánico en la superficie de Ceres, un hallazgo que marcó un hito en la exploración del planeta enano más cercano a la Tierra.
El Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía se suma un año más a la celebración del Día Internacional de la Mujer y la Niña en la Ciencia, que tiene como objetivo visibilizar la labor científica de las mujeres y fomentar las vocaciones en las niñas
El festival de divulgación granadino conmemora sus diez años bajo el lema “Historia(s) de la Ciencia”, los días 16 y 17 de mayo en el Parque de la Ciencias
El evento, de acceso gratuito, también celebrará los aniversarios de algunas de sus entidades colaboradoras: los 30 años del Parque de las Ciencias, los 50 del Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía y los 70 de la Estación Experimental del Zaidín

SO-IAA School on Bayesian Statistics
2025-05-05 00:00:00 to 2025-05-08 00:00:00
During five half days the school will cover topics from the basics of Bayesian inference over model fitting, computational methods to simulations.
Practical exercises will be combined with the theoretical lectures
The agenda will include:
Basics of Bayesian Inference.

I will summarise the main projects we are currently working on that use the chemical abundances and pattern as fossil records of galaxy evolution.
Element Abundances and the Chemical Evolution of the Cosmos
2025-02-03 00:00:00 to 2025-02-20 00:00:00
The course will be taught in seven sessions of 1.5 hours each.
27 Jan 2025: Cosmic elemental abundances. Data sources. Stellar abundances.

En esta conferencia exploraremos los nichos geoquímicos de la Tierra primitiva que pudieron albergar la transición de la geoquímica inorgánica a la geoquímica orgánica, y de ahí a la química prebiotica y la emergencia de la complejidad que derivaría en las primeras estructuras similares a la vida.

En los últimos 11 años, los resultados de la misión Gaia han revolucionado nuestro conocimiento sobre la Vía Láctea, ofreciendo un nivel de detalle sin precedentes. Este observatorio espacial ha cartografiado con extrema precisión las posiciones, movimientos y fotometría de más de mil ochocientos millones de estrellas, proporcionando una visión tridimensional de nuestra galaxia.
Approximately 75% of known exoplanets have been discovered by identifying transit signals in the light curves of their host stars. These discoveries start with the acquisition of raw images of the sky, followed by the extraction of stellar time-series photometry.
II Advanced School on Galaxy Evolution
2025-05-19 00:00:00 to 2025-05-23 00:00:00
The school is designed for researchers at all career stages who are particularly interested in the formation and evolution of galaxies.

Recent spectropolarimetric observations of low-mass stars show that large-scale components of their magnetic fields can exhibit cyclic variations or reversals. This magnetic activity affects detection of exoplanets and estimation of their masses, and so its modelling is particularly important.

La existencia de vida es uno de los grandes problemas cosmológicos. Aunque la vida sea un hecho observado en un único planeta, el proceso de complejización que supone, debe obedecer a leyes generales universales.

Cosmic rays (CRs) are a fundamental component of the Cosmos. They can penetrate and ionise the dense gas core of molecular clouds, affecting the dynamics of the cloud itself and triggering chemical reactions that lead to the creation of complex molecular compounds.

Occultations have been used for measuring stellar angular diameters since 1936 when French astronomy M. A. Arnulf measured the radius of Regulus during a lunar occultation. Since then, astronomers have used lunar occultations to measure the angular diameters of hundreds of bright stars m≤5.

Muchas veces imágenes obtenidas con técnicas novedosas, y al límite técnico, son cruciales para hacer descubrimientos.
Within the Severo Ochoa Training Initiative of the IAA-CSIC we are offering short introductory practical courses about Python packages for astrophysical applications (PySnacks). We invite you to participate in the 4h course PySnack 9: GASTLI
Understanding the interior composition of exoplanets is key to uncovering their formation and evolutionary histories, especially their metal content.
The Python Blob Detector and Source Finder (PyBDSF) is a CASA-based software designed for source detection in radio-interferometric images. Originally developed for the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR), PyBDSF is designed to work on a wide range of scales, cataloguing different types of sources and allowing post-extraction filtering depending on the user’s scientific purposes.

If you are a foreigner who has recently joined the IAA and have not yet completed all the steps to formalize your residency in Spain, or if you would like to learn about some of the optional bureaucratic procedures that could make things easier for you living here, please join us for this informa
This session is a hands-on introduction to using GitHub for scientific research collaboration within the Severo Ochoa Training Initiative of the IAA-CSIC. We’ll explore software repositories and their role in managing and sharing research work within a group. Key concepts—such as commits, forks, pushes, pulls, and pull requests—will be clarified with practical examples of their use.
Seventh Workshop on Robotic Autonomous Observatories
2024-10-16 00:00:00 to 2024-10-20 00:00:00
Fourteen years after the celebration of the First Workshop on robotic autonomous observatories in Málaga, the number of automatic astronomical facilities worldwide has significantly grown, as well as the level of robotisation, autonomy, and networking, with many recent developments motivated by the search of new electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational waves in the next months.
