Tellurium is detected in one of its places of origin
An international team led by a PhD student from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) and the University of La Laguna (ULL) has identified the emission...
Temperature inhomogeneities cause the abundance discrepancy in H II regions
H II regions are ionized nebulae associated with the formation of massive stars. They exhibit a wealth of emission lines in their spectra that form the basis...

TESS satellite dates an ancient collision with our galaxy
From a single bright star in the constellation of Indus, an international team of scientists led by the University of Birmingham, with the participation of...
TESS, Spitzer and the GTC detect a planet orbiting a white dwarf for the first time
With data from NASA’s TESS satellite, from the now retired Spitzer Space Telescope, and the Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) an international team of astronomers...
Testing Einstein's equivalence principle at early cosmological epochs with quasar observations
We perform a new test of Einstein's Equivalence Principle which, for the first time, extends to very early cosmological epochs (we have studied its validity in...
Many of the most basic and important physical phenomena are determined by a set of “fundamental constants”, whose values are experimentally known to high...
Testing the extreme acceleration mechanisms in the supermassive black holes neighborhood
Blazars, Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) whose relativistic jets point in the direction of the Earth, dominate the VHE (VHE, E>100 GeV) gamma-ray extragalactic sky...
