On March 14 and 16, the External Scientific Advisory Board (ESAB), composed of internationally recognized researchers, visited the IAA-CSIC facilities to review the activities of the IAA and to provide advice on future actions.

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) is leading a study that concludes that lightning could increase by 40% before the end of this century. The study points to a large increase in forest fires in the Mediterranean basin, as well as in the central and west coast of North America

The Institute de Astrophysics de Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) leads the study of twenty-two very luminous and distant quasars that completes our knowledge of the diversity of these objects

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) is participating in the study of the material ejected by the impact, which altered the asteroid's orbit around its companion Didymos and produced a crater. The slower material was pushed in an anti-solar direction (almost opposite to the impact) by solar radiation pressure to form a tail, and the faster material showed complex interactions with the asteroid pair

Twenty thousand observations of CARMENES, obtained from the 3.5-meter telescope of the Calar Alto Observatory (CAHA) are made public. The instrument, co-developed by the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC), has made it possible to discover 59 planets, some of them in the habitable zone

Spain becomes the first country in the world to lead a global network of autonomous observatories. The BOOTES network, with seven facilities, is a pioneer in space surveillance and the study of transient cosmic phenomena, which shine briefly, intensely and suddenly.

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) participates in the discovery of a dense ring in this object that, with a size equivalent to half of Pluto, raises several problems

The IAA-CSIC leads the study of NGC 3312 and NGC3314a, two galaxies in advanced interaction with the cluster that should have lost most of their gas. The work, which seeks to understand how the environment affects galaxies within a cluster, reveals tidal tails with an anomalous amount of cold gas where stars are even forming

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalusia (IAA-CSIC) is leading an observation campaign with the JWST to capture the shadows of starlight produced by the thin rings of the object, located beyond Saturn. Subsequent observations revealed that crystalline water ice dominates the spectrum of Chariklo and its rings, suggesting that continuous micro-collisions are taking place there

The last phases of stars and the formation and evolution of massive stars will be the objects of study of these new legacy projects
