Pulsar timing array detection of a gravitational wave background represents a milestone in the field of gravitational wave astronomy.

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.

The harsh conditions in space (ultra-high vacuum, cryogenic temperatures, and radiation) are simulated in laboratory chambers to study ice properties and processes.

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

With the slogan ‘from space to the classroom’, and building on the fascination that students have for space, the European Space Agency's (ESA) European Space Education Resource Office in Spain (ESERO Spain) provides resources to primary and secondary school teachers to improve their literacy and

As we approach the era where we will be able to characterize the atmospheres of terrestrial exoplanets, we are put on a path to answer one of humanity's most compelling questions: are we alone in the universe?

In this talk I will present the equality plans in the CSIC with a critical look at the particular situation of the IAA. I will focus on the current IAA Equality plan (the first one) and the changes it needs to live in an increasingly friendly environment.

Exoplanets which transit their host stars are unique in allowing detailed characterisation of planetary radius, mass and atmospheric properties.

Every year we all doubt what needs to be done and uploaded for the university. This is a reminder and updated seminar about the current proceedings that affect the PhD, especially important since the UGR has modified some things recently.

Dr. Kalaga Venu Madhav, a renowned astrophysicist from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam, will present a colloquium on the role of astrophotonics in astronomy, focusing on the MARCOT Pathfinder project.

Blazars, a class of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) with relativistic jets oriented toward Earth, are powerful and highly variable emitters across the electromagnetic spectrum.

Cosmic acceleration dominates the behavior of the recent universe, with some fundamentally new physics at its heart. Recent data gives a tantalizing suggestion that the dark energy behind it is more complicated than a cosmological constant.

Both observational and theoretical studies suggest that the magnetic field plays an important role in the process of massive star and cluster formation.

The Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO) represents a monumental leap in radio astronomy technology, promising to redefine our understanding of the universe through its unprecedented capabilities.

The search for new worlds in the Galaxy in the past three decades has been highly successful and the prospects for the next decade are even brighter. A succession of space missions and ground-based facilities defines a timeline extending well into the 2030s.

Metals play a very important role in star formation and stellar evolution.

Unraveling the nature of dark matter (DM) stands as a primary objective in modern physics. I will present evidence suggesting deviations from the collisionless Cold DM (CDM) paradigm.
